Description
Blood and Oil in the Orient is the story of Lev Nussimbaum, a young Azerbaijani nobleman, and his mad flight across Asia to escape the Bolshevik terror sparked by the Russian Revolution. Full of picturesque descriptions of the different people he met and the stories he heard, Blood and Oil in the Orient is a kaleidoscope view of the old east, as it is brought to a close by the waves of violence and revolution that come crashing down around it. Within its pages are accounts of the crooks, kings, mad-poets, and oil-barons that Nussimbaum must have met firsthand during his childhood in the gilded mansions of Baku.
