- 1963, Nicolas Bouvier, L'Usage du Monde, 2005 ed., Payot & Rivages, →ISBN, pp. 393-394; translated 1992 by Robyn Marsack as The Way of the World, 2011 ed., Eland, →ISBN:
Et Zebak, c’est une mosquée de torchis et une vingtaine de masures enfumées par la patrouille montée qui contrôle l’accès du haut Wakhan et de la frontière chinoise. Au-delà, il n’y a plus que les versants solitaires du Pamir où une poignée de trappeurs chassent le renard bleu et le léopard des neiges. Un voyage qu’on ne souhaite à personne, le bout du monde. Zebak c’est Piogre.- At Zebak there was a clay and straw mosque and about twenty dilapidated houses, filled with smoke by the mounted patrol who guarded access to the upper Wakan and the Chinese border. Beyond that there was nothing apart from the solitary slopes of the Pamirs, where a handful of trappers hunted the blue fox and the snow leopard. A journey you wouldn't wish on anyone: to the end of the world. Zebak is Piogre.
