Description
In the spring of 1999, at the age of 61, Bernard Ollivier set out from Istanbul with only a backpack. His ultimate goal was to cross one of the most ancient routes in the world: the Silk Road. He recounted his adventures in his first book, Longue marche, published in the summer of 2000, and received with enormous praise by the French press. Now, in his second installment, Ollivier continues his unbelievable journey through Kurdistan and most of Iran before finding himself face to face with the merciless Karakum, a near-impossible desert to cross. After many follies along the way, he breaks all the way through to behold the golden dome of Samarkand. His adventure will continue with a third volume…
