Join Nicholas Mackey on an extraordinary journey through south-east Türkiye, where the legendary Euphrates and Tigris rivers cradle ancient cities alongside the ground-breaking archaeological site of Göbeklitepe that challenges our understanding of the origins of civilisation.
Blending travel writing, memoir, history, poetry and the exploration of ideas, his tale transforms into a vivid exploration of cultures and empires while reflecting on his own coming-of-age quest.
