In 1939, as the Second World War breaks out, Annemarie Schwarzenbach and the writer Ella Maillart turn their back on Europe and set out on a journey by car from Switzerland to Afghanistan, via the Balkans, Turkey and Iran. Schwarzenbach’s reportage and stories help us gain a deep insight into the nature of the countries, the landscapes, and political conditions, and into the soul of the author.
