Description
Through Khiva to Golden Samarkand: A John Murray Journey
By Ella Christie, a seasoned traveller who explored Central Asia, including the Silk Road cities of Tashkent and Samarkand, and became the first British woman to visit the Khanate of Khiva.
This account of her travels, written in 1912, offers a unique perspective on the everyday life of the people she met, from khans to generals, and vividly chronicles market life, all before war and revolution swept the region away.
