Description

Vivid, humorous, and compelling, this travel classic follows Stanley Stewart on a pilgrimage across the former Mongol Empire. Eight and a half centuries after Genghis Khan, the Mongol conquests stretched from the Danube to the Yellow Sea. Stewart travels from Istanbul to the distant homeland of the Mongol hordes, with a thousand-mile ride by horse at the heart of his journey, through trackless lands. On a journey full of bizarre characters and unexpected encounters, he crosses deserts and mountains of Central Asia to arrive at the windswept grasslands of the steppes, the birthplace of Genghis Khan.
