SUMMARY:Book Signing and Presentation: Paris to Pamirs
DESCRIPTION:Join author Jaroslaw Martynuik at the Ukrainian National Museum\, June 13 at 6:30pm for a presentation and signing of his latest book\, Paris to Pamirs: Eurasian Odysseys. \nParis to Pamirs is a sequel to Monte Rosa: Memoir of an Accidental Spy\, a volume that documented the author’s life from WWII to his years in Paris\, where he worked for the IEA/OECD and later as an undercover researcher for Radio Liberty. The fall of Communism in 1991 opened opportunities for travel east of the defunct Iron Curtain. Over the next three decades\, Jaroslaw Martyniuk traveled to forty countries between the Atlantic Ocean and the high Pamir mountains in Tajikistan\, which border China and Afghanistan in Central Asia. Like a latterday Marco Polo\, Martyniuk takes his reader on an adventure from Western and Eastern Europe\, the Balkans\, Baltics\, Belarus\, Ukraine\, and Russia\, to Istanbul\, the Caucasus\, and Central Asia.
