Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of an epic journey through some of the most challenging and inhospitable terrain on Earth - the Pamir Mountains of Central Asia. The author and his companion set out from the town of Marguilane in winter, in an attempt to cross the Pamir - something that had never been attempted before. The book provides a rich tapestry of travel writing, history, and ethnography. The author vividly describes crossing mountain passes in freezing conditions, visiting remote villages, and learning from the hardy people who live there. Along the way, the author explores the complex history of the region, and its role as a crossroads between different cultures. The book is also a meditation on the human spirit of adventure and exploration. The author's story is an inspiring tale of determination, resilience, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity.
