Now at seventy - five years old Ollivier decides to lace up his walking boots and head out to complete his Silk - Road journey once and for all: 1,900 miles from Lyon to Istanbul. Only this time he won t be alone. Flatet has long yearned to hike side - by - side with Ollivier so the couple sets out together This unexpected fourth volume in Ollivier's Silk Road series (Out of Istanbul Walking to Samarkand and Winds of the Steppe) is a wonderful bonus for the author's fans: not only is it the enthralling continuation of his long walk across Asia it's a new journey unto itself across Europe full of delightful firsts such as the inclusion of short chronicles by Flatet.
