Description
Book Synopsis
For many centuries horse-riding peoples populated the steppes to the north of today's Almaty and the green hills to the south, but the city itself - formerly known as 'Alma-Ata' - is not even 180 years old. Almaty's initial development was closely linked to the expansion of the Russian Empire. Today Almaty is Kazakhstan's largest metropolis, a vibrant milieu where the encounter between different cultures is also reflected in the architecture. Orthodox cathedrals and mosques, Soviet Neoclassicism and monumental mosaic art, Brutalism and brand-new skyscrapers: this book presents more than 100 buildings from the past and pre-sent. Author Edda Schlager has spent two -decades in Almaty, covering the transformation of the city and the -country as a journalist for inter-national media. Critical essays by and interviews with local actors contribute to her broad, -kaleidoscopic panorama of one of the most fas-cinating Central Asian metropolises.Dimensions (Overall): 9.65 Inches (H) x 5.31 Inches (W)
