Summary:
Acclaimed journalist Bernard Ollivier continues his epic journey across
Persia
and
Central
Asia
as he walks the length of the
Great

.
Walking
to
Samarkand
is journalist Bernard Ollivier's stunning account of the second leg of his 7,200-mile walk from Istanbul, Turkey, to Xi'an, China, along the
Silk
Road--the longest and perhaps most mythical trade route of all time. Picking up where Out of Istanbul left off, Ollivier heads out of the Middle East and into
Central
Asia
, grappling not only with his own will to continue but with new, unforeseen dangers.
