Description
Taking as his title the famous phrase from Flecker's "Hassan", the author follows the journeys of a number of men who have ventured across Central Asia during the last 2,000 years. An epilogue gives an account of Samarkand today, where skilful restoration is saving remains of the past in one of history's most enchanted cities.Tags
