Acerca del libro
Author Raymond Uzanas takes the reader on an excursion to the "Stans" of Central Asia--from Ashgabat, the marble-made capital of Turkmenistan, to Uzbekistan; its teeming city of 6 million people (Tashkent) and the iconic, ancient Silk Road cities of Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand.
Uzanas departs the civility of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan for the dramatic, jaw-dropping scenery of the Pamir mountains of Kyrgystan and Tajikistan while traveling several hundred miles along the Chinese and Afghanistan borders. Crossing mountain passes of 15,000 ft. elevation is a sinuous road separated from Afghanistan by the mere width of a narrow river. It is a region of remote villages and harsh climates unlike an other. This is a fascinating journey through a region unknown to many and Uzanas's photographs of the people and their land brings it all into focus.
