The Silk Road – book cover

In the   summer of 1991 Tsur Shezaf went to cross Asia from Istanbul to Beijing on the  silk Roads. It was a strange  time – the Soviet empire was gone and nothing else emerged yet.
He was probably the first westerner to cross central Asia un attended by KGB after 70 years of  Communism.
Between Georgia and the Chinese border he was accompanied by the king of Georgia Lado Bagrateyoni, traveling together in a battered “Lada” that was driven by the knight Zaza Zizishvili – an architect, adventurer and a man that waves his hands and catches passing money, drops them down and the money disappears.
