Synopsis
After the "Fable of Venice", Corto is in Rhodes and begins searching for a treasure hidden by Alexander the Great in Afghanistan - a pretext to free Rasputin from a prison. To do this, he crosses three emerging states - the Turkish Republic, the Soviet Union and Reza Pahlavi's Iran - and meets various cultures.
Notes
The Golden House of Samarkand is a single long Corto Maltese story created by Hugo Pratt in the early 1980s. The setting moves from Rhodes to Turkey, Azerbaijan, the Caspian Sea, and Central Asia in the years 1921-1922. Guido Fuga contributed with artwork of cars and machine-guns.
Translated from Pratt's original Italian scripts.
Published in Italian as "La casa dorata di Samarcanda" and in French as "La Maison dorée de Samarkand".
