The new volume of the series "Great Travelers" - "On the Steps of the" Throne of God "is dedicated to the bright representative of the galaxy of Russian travelers - explorers of Central Asia - Grigory Efimovich Grumm-Grzhimailo, whose works are rightfully included in the "golden fund" of Russian and world geographical science. A scientist-encyclopedist, an excellent storyteller, a man who knew how to win over people, he was ready for anything - up to the sale of his own property - to go to distant lands. During his life, Grumm-Grzhimailo carried out a dozen and a half expeditions - to the Pamirs and Altai, to the Tien Shan and Nan Shan, to Western China and Mongolia. Thousands of color meters traveled through the corners of the planet remote from civilization, years spent away from family and home, dangers and deprivations that inevitably await the traveler ... All for the sake of science, progress, the desire to move forward, to benefit the Motherland and all mankind.
This publication is based on the main work of G. M. Grumm-Grzhimailo: “Description of a Journey to Western China”. The book is complemented by selected articles by the brother and colleague of the famous geographer, M. E. Grumm-Grzhimailo. Like all editions of the series, the book is beautifully designed, equipped with hundreds of black-and-white and color illustrations, the main part of which were photographs taken by the traveler himself from the expedition materials.
