When one of the leading publicists in America, Dr. Albert Shaw of the Review of Reviews, after reading the manuscript of Part I of this volume, characterized the author as "The Robinson Crusoe of the Twentieth Century," he touched the feature of the narrative which is at once most attractive and most dangerous; for the succession of trying and thrilling experiences recorded seems in places too highly colored to be real or, sometimes, even possible in this day and generation. I desire, therefore, to assure the reader at the outset that Dr. Ossendowski is a man of long and diverse experience as a scientist and writer with a training for careful observation which should put the stamp of accuracy and reliability on his chronicle. Only the extraordinary events of these extraordinary times could have thrown one with so many talents back into the surroundings of the "Cave Man" and thus given to us this unusual account of personal adventure, of great human mysteries and of the political and religious motives which are energizing the "Heart of Asia."My share in the work has been to induce Dr. Ossendowski to write his story at this time and to assist him in rendering his experiences into English.

真理的入门：维吾尔族古典文学名著（中华大国学经典文库）
《真理的入门》是喀喇汗王朝维吾尔族盲人诗人阿合买提·玉克乃克（110～1180）用喀什噶尔的回鹘文写成的一部劝诫性的长诗。全文共分14章，约512行。诗歌采用阿鲁孜韵律中的木塔卡里甫格律，用中古西部维吾尔语喀什噶尔方言写成。主要阐述了当时回鹘人的伊斯兰教哲学伦理观念，在一定程度上也反映了当时的社会动乱、城市荒芜和道德败坏的情况。寓意深刻，韵律优美，富有哲理性。书中主要阐述穆斯林应遵奉的道德准则及修身处世之道。在宇宙观上，作者认为只有真主是永恒的，宇宙万物为真主所造化，日月星辰与时间围绕大地轮回运转，人类及万物都在真主的主宰下不断运动。
