The book “On the Steps of God's Throne” introduces to the modern reader a prominent representative of the galaxy of Russian travelers and explorers of Central Asia - Grigory Efimovich Grumm-Grzhimailo (1860-1936), whose works are rightfully included in the “golden fund” of Russian and world geographical Sciences. An encyclopedist, an excellent storyteller, a man who knew how to win people over, he was ready to do anything - even selling his own property - to go to distant lands. During his life, Grumm-Grzhimailo carried out one and a half dozen expeditions - to the Pamirs and Altai, to the Tien Shan and Nan Shan, to Western China and Mongolia. Thousands of kilometers traveled through corners of the planet remote from civilization, years spent away from family and home, dangers and hardships that inevitably await the traveler... All for the sake of science, progress, the desire to move forward, to benefit the Motherland and all of humanity. The book by G. E. Grumm-Grzhimailo is supplemented by selected articles by the brother and ally of the famous geographer, military engineer, inventor, traveler - Mikhail Efimovich Grum-Grzhimailo (1861-1921). But why siblings have different surnames by one letter, the reader learns from the biography of the great traveler. The electronic publication of the works of G. E. Grumm-Grzhimailo includes all the texts of the paper book and the main factual illustrative material - photographs, maps. And for connoisseurs of exclusive publications, we offer a gift classic book. The paper edition is richly designed: it contains more than 200 illustrations, including color ones, the main part of which are photographs from the expedition materials taken by the traveler himself. The publication is printed on beautiful offset paper. In terms of the richness and variety of illustrative material, the books in the “Great Travelers” gift series are not inferior to art albums. Editions of the series will adorn any, even the most sophisticated library, and will be a wonderful gift for both young readers and discerning bibliophiles.
