It is perhaps the eighth wonder of our world that despite modern mapping and satellite photography our planet continues to surprise us. Hidden lairs beneath layers of rock, forgotten cities rising out of deserted lands and even mankind's own feats of engineering eccentricity lie in the most unusual of destinations. Travis Elborough goes in search of the obscure and bizarre, the beautiful and estranged. Taking in the defiant relics of ancient cities such as Ani, a once thriving metropolis lost to conquered lands, and the church tower of San Juan Parangaricuto, that miraculously stands as the sole survivor of a town sunk by lava.

Если бы мне предложили поездку в любую страну мира по моему выбору, я, не задумываясь, выбрал бы Индию. Побывать в великой стране, полной таинственности, в стране, которая манила каждого из нас еще с детства,— что может быть увлекательнее и интереснее этого? Увидеть великий народ, который после двух столетий колониального угнетения встал на путь самостоятельного и независимого развития,— что может быть поучительнее этого?
