Krátky popis
",A mesmerising trip across Central Asia . . .A fascinating
travelogue", Financial TimesSHORTLISTED FOR EDWARD STANFORD/LONELY
PLANET DEBUT TRAVEL WRITER OF THE YEAR 2020An unforgettable journey
through the former Soviet Republics, by a prizewinning author of
international reportageErika Fatland takes the reader on a journey
that is unknown to even the most seasoned globetrotter. The five
former Soviet Republics' Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan all became independent when the Soviet
Union fell apart in 1991. How have these countries developed since
then?In the Kyrgyzstani villages Erika Fatland meets victims of the
widely known tradition of bride snatching, she visits the huge and
desolate Polygon in Kazakhstan where the Soviet Union tested
explosions of nuclear bombs, she meets Chinese shrimp gatherers on
the banks of the dried out Aral Sea and she witnesses the fall of a
dictator.She travels incognito through Turkmenistan, a country that
is closed to journalists. She meets exhausted human rights
activists in Kazakhstan, survivors from the massacre in Osh in
2010, German Menonites that found paradise on the Kyrgyzstani
plains 200 years ago. During her travels, she observes how ancient
customs clash with gas production and she witnesses the underlying
conflicts between ethnic Russians and the majority in a country
that is slowly building its future in Nationalist colours.In these
countries, that used to be the furthest border of the Soviet Union,
life follows another pace of time. Amidst the treasures of
Samarkand and the bleakness of Soviet architecture, Erika Fatland
moves with her openness towards the people and the landscapes
around her. A rare and unforgettable travelogue.Translated from the
