En enestående reiseskildring fra en verden nesten ingen nordmenn kjenner.
Bli med på en reise til land som er ukjente selv for den mest erfarne globetrotter – men mer aktuelle enn noen sinne. De tidligere sovjetrepublikkene Kasakhstan, Kirgisistan, Tadsjikistan, Turkmenistan og Usbekistan ble selvstendige da Sovjetunionen brøt sammen i 1991. Hvordan har landene utviklet seg siden? Hva er deres fremtid med nyvunne olje- og gassressurser og med Putins Russland som igjen tenker ekspansivt?

Erika Fatland skildrer landenes nære og fjerne historie, deres kultur og samfunn. Fremfor alt byr hun på gripende menneskemøter og innsikter i hvordan sovjetarven har preget landene, hvor styresettet i dag varierer fra demokratiske forsøk til rene diktaturer – noen med en personkult som knapt kjenner sin like i vår tid. I spennet mellom Samarkands skatter og sovjetarkitekturens tristesse, beveger Erika Fatland seg med et åpent blikk for menneskene og landskapene omkring seg.

"A mesmerising trip across Central Asia . . . A fascinating travelogue" Financial Times SHORTLISTED FOR EDWARD STANFORD/LONELY PLANET DEBUT TRAVEL WRITER OF THE YEAR 2020 Erika Fatland takes the reader on a journey that is unknown to even the most seasoned globetrotter. The five former Soviet Republics' Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan all became independent when the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991. How have these countries developed since then? In the Kyrgyzstani villages Erika Fatland meets victims of the widely known tradition of bride snatching; she visits the huge and desolate Polygon in Kazakhstan where the Soviet Union tested explosions of nuclear bombs; she meets Chinese shrimp gatherers on the banks of the dried out Aral Sea and she witnesses the fall of a dictator. She travels incognito through Turkmenistan, a country that is closed to journalists. She meets exhausted human rights activists in Kazakhstan, survivors from the massacre in Osh in 2010, German Menonites that found paradise on the Kyrgyzstani plains 200 years ago. During her travels, she observes how ancient customs clash with gas production and she witnesses the underlying conflicts between ethnic Russians and the majority in a country that is slowly building its future in Nationalist colours. In these countries, that used to be the furthest border of the Soviet Union, life follows another pace of time. Amidst the treasures of Samarkand and the bleakness of Soviet architecture, Erika Fatland moves with her openness towards the people and the landscapes around her. A rare and unforgettable travelogue.
