Spirit-wrestlers by Philip Marsden-Smedley
In villages unseen by outsiders since before the revolution, Phillip Marsden encounters men and women of courage, dazed by the century's turbulence. He meets such figures as the Yezidi Sheikh of Sheikhs, Pushkin the wandering doctor and an exiled Georgian prince.

William Dalrymple, Sunday Times Books of the Year 'A tragic story, beautifully told.' Colin Thubron, Daily Telegraph Books of the Year 'The book I've savoured most this year.'
