![]() Apples are from Kazakhstan, The Land That Disappeared Christopher Robbins TRAVEL NARRATIVE 2008 HARD COVER 304 PAGES
In this richly observed portrait, the British journalist Christopher Robbins mixes tales of the Scythians and Sarmatians, of Eurasian steppe wolves and long-faced Saiga, his quest for apples and tulips, with travel, anecdote, impressions and a very evident appreciation for the diversity, beauty and future of Kazakhstan. And, yes, apples do come from Kazakhstan. Tulips too. It's a country the size of Western Europe, closed by the Tsars to foreigners in the 19th century and sealed off by the Soviets for 70 years.
