	Sven Hedin
		Sven Hedin was born in Stockholm, the son of Ludwig Hedin, Chief Architect of Stockholm, and Anna Berlin Hedin.
		Hedin was blinded in the early 1890s in one eye, and suffered from it until he was 82 - after an operation the sight was restored.
		Hedin continued to follow world politics and in 1949 prophesied: "Mao is the best thing that has happened to China in a thousand years." For the younger Swedish writers he was an easy target - the Nobel writer Harry Martinson said that Hedin was an imperialist who happened to be born in a small country.

		Sven Hedin grew up in a large, warm, tightly knit, and politically conservative family, where royalism, patriotism, and allegiance to the state church constituted cardinal values.
		Hedin was to become an accomplished artist, using his skill both for illustrations and for scientific purposes (drawing amazingly exact panoramas of landscapes and geological formations).
		Hedin's fourth expedition was carried out from 1927 to 1935 and consisted of a series of campaigns, at times conducted in more than one field, with different sponsors, participants, and programs.

	Sven Hedin in the Gobi Desert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Hedin sat in his camp, perhaps with a cup of tea which was all he would drink himself, and imagined the two camels abandoned amidst the sands: "thrown upon the desert" in the phrase used by Gobi caravan-men.
		Sven Hedin wrapped himself in his furs (for the night was cool) and pulled his hood round his head, and lay down to sleep under the open sky.
		Hedin told him to gather his strength, and when he was rested, to forget the camels and their loads; he must follow on, even to his last breath.

	Sven Hedin
		Hedin nahm eine Zwischenstellung ein; er war sozusagen ein Grenzfall: Zwar reiste auch er nur in kleinen Gruppen, die einer ernsthaften militärischen Auseinandersetzung nicht wirklich gewachsen gewesen wären; aber es reichte aus, um sich der Überfälle kleinerer Räuberbanden zu erwehren, denen der wehrlose Einzelreisende wohl früher oder später zum Opfer gefallen wäre.
		Was Hedin schrieb, diente in erster Linie der wissenschaftlichen Forschung.
		Hedins Reisen ins Ausland hatten bei ihm nicht das bewirkt, was politisch-korrekte Gutmenschen von heute erwarten (die darunter Gruppenreisen mit muttersprachlicher Führung oder Pauschalurlaub "alles inclusive" in abgeschirmten Hotelburgen für Ausländer verstehen), nämlich den Glauben, daß alle Länder und Menschen gleich seien.

		Sven Hedin was one of the most famous explorers of his time (the late 19th and early 20th centuries).
		Hedin was a Swede, and at this point in time, being a Swede in Central Asia had its benefits and its drawbacks.
		Lucikly for Hedin, one of his chief supporters was the Russian Czar, who not only helped him gain resources and permission to take at least one of his expeditions, but also sent along several Cossack soldiers to assist him as needed.

	Sven Hedin Bibliography
		Hedin was trained in physical geography; I am not sure he figured out or cared how much of his soundings of lakes and measurements of river flow would really interest the average reader.
		Hedin was outspoken about Swedish politics and foreign policy and both in World War I and World War II, he sided with the Germans.
		One of Hedin's underlying concerns was Soviet expansion (the threat was very real during the "Winter War" with Finland); in part his trips to Germany were a kind of personal diplomacy to curry Nazi guarantees for neutral Sweden.

		I suppose we shouldn't be too hard on Hedin, for he was of course a product of his times, and those were times when it was still widely accepted that the developed countries should rule over the rest of the world, and imperialism hadn't yet become the dirty word it is now.
		One of the main reasons for Hedin's continual visits to various German functionaries was to find out their opinions and intentions regarding Sweden, and to use whatever influence he imagined he had to encourage them to respect its neutrality.
		Hedin suggested that it should be named after some German explorer instead, but was told that his refusal might be “misunderstood” and would offend various important institutions and personages (such as Himmler), so he gave in (p.

		Hedin thought nothing of embarking on a journey of two years or more; whenever he got back to civilization, he immediately began planning another expedition.
		Note: Several times, Hedin notes that the expedition crosses ground so densely dug by mouse-holes that the soil is worked by the mice exactly as it might be by earthworms in kinder climes.

		Hedin never talks about it, but I keep on wondering what his Muslim companions thought of his affection for his dogs.
