Tahir Shah

    November 16, 1966

    Tahir Shah is the author of fifteen books, many of which chronicle a wide range of outlandish journeys through Africa, Asia, and the Americas. For him, deciphering the hidden underbelly of the lands he travels is paramount.

His works are celebrated for their original viewpoint and for combining hardship with vivid description.
