Secret Corner of the World

---

For many of us, the glimpse of faraway places came in the pages of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC : and this book continues the Society's tradition of portraying lands and peoples off the beaten tracks of the world.rnIn one instance, it records a land on the eve of calamity; northern Afghanistan, for centuries a crossroads of trade and thus of civilization, now closed to travelers while Soviet forces confront a bitter resistance. This chapter blends photographs from recent, peaceful years, and a vivid text prepared woth the help of Afgan advisers.rnTherefore we hope that they woll find pride as well as pleasure in these accounts of far and varied destinations; places unfamiliar to many, yet dear to some with the special charm of home.
