In this highly illustrated 1929 work, archaeologist Aurel Stein describes an expedition to trace the route of Alexander the Great's invasion of India in 326 BCE. Long intrigued by remains showing a blend of Hellenistic and Buddhist art, Stein offers a fascinating account of an ancient clash of civilisations.
