Book description:
Poles evacuated from the Soviet Union to Iran in 1942 were deprived of almost everything. However, they saved their lives and regained their lost sense of freedom. For them, being in the Middle East was a form of therapy after border experiences in the “inhuman land”. This also involved discovering an unknown world - its people, places, nature. The book is primarily about the emotions and feelings associated with this phenomenon. It takes the reader on a retrospective journey into the world made famous by the tales from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights .
