Description

Dux Schneider was drawn to mountains, and he recognized that in a rapidly modernising country the traditional life of mountain peoples would undergo inevitable and irreversible change. His trek through the Bolkar range was a dream come true, the culmination of his Turkish explorations. He got there before television and mobile phones, when the Yürük nomads and Tahtacís were still a people apart. This book is a rare picture of that time, place and people, a valuable cultural record that’s as insightful as it is entertaining. —Tom Brosnahan
