Over het boek
Welcome to Uzbekistan, Central Asian nation, former Soviet republic, and key to the ancient trade route between Asia and the Mediterranean – the silk route that for centuries crossed the Transoxiana, land of the mongols.
Here Genghis Khan came and razed; from here, Timur, the Scourge of God, sent his invincible Golden Horde to wreak chaos upon his neighbours west, north, south and east for power and empire, subjugating all for the best part of a century and leaving a trail of death. He also left his pearl city, Samarkand, as a powerful and cosmopolitan magnet for science and the arts; from there, the dynasty in its wake ruled Central Asia with an iron fist which projected into the Indian subcontinent, founding up Mughal Empire.
Today, Uzbekistan is a generous, kind and young country where smiles abound and optimism seems to prevail. It received me with an open heart in such a captivating way that I never really left. I hope this book of small moments may bring you some of its magic for the many fond memories it brings me.
