En savoir plus sur le livre
This book presents a textual edition and English translation of an important historical source written in 1912 by N.S. Lykoshin (1860-1922), a Russian colonial officer and renowned orientalist. In his capacity as Commandant of the Amu-Darya Department (ADO), Lykoshin was tasked with overseeing affairs in the Khanate of Khiva, which since the Russian takeover of 1873 had been a Russian protectorate. During his tenure as ADO Commandant, Lykoshin produced a detailed administrative survey on the Khanate, which constitutes a bricolage of statistical data, ethnographic sketches, and travel notes replete with elements of novelistic playfulness; as such, the work represents one of the most detailed accounts of the Khivan Khanate to survive from the colonial era. The editor's introduction further leads the reader through the intricate world of contemporary Khiva -- from institutional history to courtly politics, and even to contract-style assassinations and backroom intrigues.
