KAZAKHSTAN- THE CENTRAL ASIA LEOPARD

  The book Kazakhstan-The Central Asia Leopard by university professor Anton Caragea is opening to the Romanian public a rare opportunity to have a glimpse into an unfamiliar and far away world: Central Asia.

Unfortunately until now this vast space was unexplored by Romanian literature. With this book, the eminent researcher and diplomat Anton Caragea is creating for us an exceptional political, economic and cultural guide, offering a chance to take part in the spectacle of two millennia of history of the heart of Central Asia: Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan-The Central Asia Leopard is allowing the reader to uncover the fascination and richness of Scythians society, the splendor of the empires of Otrar and Taraz, lifting the veil over the adventure of Kazakhs khan history, the tragedies of soviet history until the remarkable re-birth of today Kazakhstan.

 Extremely interesting is the fact that the work is by itself an opportunity to attend, as informed spectators to recent history of Kazakhstan: from the construction of a new capital: Astana, to the birth of a new state on world map: Kazakhstan and the enormous exertions of president Nursultan Nazarbayev to map it as a major state on world arena. All  this historical fresco`s  are interesting, documented and benefits of a full of passion presentation, transforming this book in a major editorial enterprise of the last years.

Finally, for the readers loving practical`s aspects the book is more than satisfactory: chapter`s dedicated to tourism, political and economic information and a practical guide presenting Kazakhstan cultural and natural reserves, region after region, city by city, all the information`s are accessible, combining hundred of books and documents in a research that is becoming an essential guide for all those wishing to have access to a region that is rapidly emerging as a world power: Central Asia.

In the end, I can only hope that this impressive work of erudition by professor Anton Caragea will have the reader that it deserves and will be read by history passionate and will open a Romanian research school on Central Asia.

KAZAHSTAN-LEOPARDUL ASIEI CENTRALE

Lucrarea Kazahstan-Leopardul Asiei Centrale, a profesorului universitar Anton Caragea, ofera publicului din Romania posibilitatea rara de a patrunde intr-o lume indepartata si putin familiara : lumea Asiei Centrale.

Din nefericire acest spatiu extrem de complex si interesant este putin explorat in literatura de specialitate din Romania. Acum insa profesorul Anton Caragea, un eminent istoric si diplomat,  ne ofera prin lucrarea sa un ghid istoric, cultural si politic de exceptie, purtandu-ne de a lungul a aproape doua  milenii de istorie a Asiei Centrale vazuta prin prisma Kazahstanului.

Cartea Kazahstan –Leopardul Asiei Centrale, permite cititorului sa descopere fascinatia si bogatia civilizatiei scitice, splendoarea imperiilor  ridicate in jurul Otrarului sau Tarazului, ridica valul de pe epopeea hanatelor kazahe , tragediile epocii sovietice sau renasterea remarcabila a Kazahstanului de astazi.

 Interesant este ca lucrarea ne ofera posibilitatea de a participa ca cititori avizati la istoria recenta a Kazahstanului cuprinzand  constructia noii capitale : Astana, aparitia unui nou stat pe harta lumii-Kazahstan si enormul efort al presedintelui Nursultan Nazarbayev  de a-l pune pe harta marilor state ale lumii, totul este prezentat alert, documentat si interesant, facand din aceasta lucrare o aparitie editoriala de exceptie a ultimilor ani.

In final, pentru cititorul iubitor de aspecte practice, lucrarea are de ce sa fie din nou mai mult decat multumitoare : capitole dedicate  turismului, informatiilor economice si politice si un ghid practic ce ne prezinta Kazahstanul din punct de vedere al culturii si resurselor naturale, regiune dupa regiune si oras dupa oras. Toate informatiile sunt prezentate accesibil, unind lectura a sute de carti si documente intr-o lucrare ce devine un ghid esential , de nedespartit, pentru toti cei ce vor sa cunoasca  o regiune de viitor a omenirii : Kazahstanul si Asia Centrala.

Pentru a incheia nu pot decat sa adresez acestei frumoase lucrari de inalta eruditie sa aiba cititorii pe care ii merita si daca latinii au dreptate ca fiecare carte are soarta ei, fie ca soarta acestei carti sa fie buna si sa ajunga in mainile a cat mai multi cititori si sa deschida poate o scoala romaneasca de cunoastere a istoriei Asiei Centrale.
