Preface to the electronic edition
Sven Hedin's Tibetanska äfventyr
was published in Swedish in 1904 and this English translation in the
same year. No translator is named, we might as well assume it was the
author himself. As mentioned in the printed preface, this book is
based on Central Asia and Tibet, and adapted for young readers.
As the title suggests, it is an adventure book. The first chapter
makes explicit reference to Marco Polo, Cooper, Defoe and Jules Verne.
A copy at the University of Toronto was digitized in January 2008
by the Internet Archive, from where the scanned images and OCR text in
January 2024 were copied to Project Runeberg. We present the Swedish
original and translations to several languages in the same structure.
This volume was scanned elsewhere and made available by the Internet Archive,
from where the scanned images were copied to Project Runeberg.
We very much appreciate that they have made this possible
and want to encourage other digital library projects to
follow their example. Read more about Project Runeberg's
image sources.
