"A captivating read notable for off-the-cuff candor and measured, eloquent prose."-Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Co všechno nevíte o deváté největší zemi světa… Jak je možné (skoro) nic nevědět o deváté největší zemi světa? Dokud byl Kazachstán součástí Sovětského svazu představoval území, jež se znamenitě hodilo k dělání věcí, které měly zůstat navždy skryty: za Stalina jeho stepi pohltily celé národy a ve zdejších gulazích zahynuly při dobývání nerostného bohatství miliony vězňů. Později zde armáda, na přísně střežených zařízeních kosmodromu v Bajkonuru a jaderné střelnici v Semipalatinsku, realizovala projekty, jež ze SSSR učinily supervelmoc. Změnilo se něco po získání nezávislosti? Pokud chcete vědět víc pak Vám Christopher Robbins bude zaujatým a informovaný průvodcem, jenž ani na chvíli nenudí
The Land that Disappeared
AS SEEN ON RICHARD AND JUDY. The only thing most people know about Kazakhstan is that homeland to Borat - and he isn't even real. Actually this vast place - the last unknown inhabited country in the world - is far more surprising and entertaining. For one thing, it is as varied as Europe, combining stupendous wealth, grinding poverty, exotic traditions and a mad dash for modernity. Crisscrossing a vanished land, Christopher Robbins finds Eminem by a shrinking Aral Sea, goes eagle-hunting by helicopter, visits the scene of Dostoyevsky's doomed first love, takes up residence beside one-time neighbour Leon Trotsky and visits some of the most beautiful, unspoilt places on earth.
