- About the Book
There are relic cities in Central Asia: Bukhara, Samarkand, Khiva, Merv, Kunya-Urgench, Shakhrisyabz, Uzgen, Namangan, Tashkent. In these cities there is a huge number of remarkable monuments of architecture, recreating almost without gaps pages of Central Asian history. To keep the memory of the past alive for centuries, art comes to the aid of history. Only art can stop a moment so powerfully. The authors of this edition, with the help of highly artistic color and tone photographs, have fully reflected national peculiarities and color of architectural constructions, unique beauty of ancient monuments. Expressive landscape sketches are replaced by pictures of ancient abandoned cities in the sands of Central Asia; unique monument cities reveal the splendor of their palaces, mosques and squares.
