The book "On the Steps of God's Throne" presents to the modern reader a prominent representative of the galaxy of Russian travelers-researchers of Central Asia - Grigory Efimovich Grumm-Grzhimailo (1860-1936), whose works are rightfully included in the "golden fund" of Russian and world geographical science. An encyclopedic scientist, an excellent storyteller, a man who knew how to win over people, he was ready for anything - up to the sale of his own property - to go to distant countries.
