{"product_id":"16692-jolyon-leslie","title":"Jolyon Leslie","description":"Jolyon Leslie tells the centuries-old story of an Afghan garden called Qal'a-ye Fatuh. This garden and its accompanying building bear witness to the life of Alim Khan, the Emir of Bukhara, who lived in exile in this retreat for twenty years. His homeland of Fergana became increasingly distant for Alim Khan after the occupation by the Russian Empire in 1868 and the attacks by the Turkish Lieutenant General Enver Pasha. Many traces tell of the original elegance and beauty of the building and its garden, as well as of the violent events and battles that took place there. Since 1996, members of Al-Qaeda have been living in the neighborhood, and since then, according to Leslie, new craters have appeared in the landscape – carved out by \"smart missiles.\" \"The Garden of Exile\" can be studied like an organic notebook whose pages are embedded in the earth.\u003cbr\u003eJolyon Leslie (b. 1956) is an architect who has lived and worked in Afghanistan since 1989.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2907-9)","offer_id":44503951671560,"sku":"9783775729079","price":4.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-3087-7)","offer_id":44573663494408,"sku":"9783775730877","price":1.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-4928-2)","offer_id":44573663527176,"sku":"9783775749282","price":1.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775729079_34205a02-fa98-46f4-b872-ba7139908516.jpg?v=1744103982","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16692-jolyon-leslie","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
