  • The Broken Road

    A. E. W. Mason

    Paperback (Classic Books Library, Feb. 23, 2007)

But above all it was the road?Linforth\'s road. It came winding down from the passes, over slopes of shale; it was built with wooden galleries along the precipitous sides of cliffs; it snaked treacherously further and further across the rich valley of Chiltistan towards the Hindu Kush, until the people of that valley could endure it no longer.
