Astana: The Heart of Our Motherland
Zaure Turekhanova
Almatykitap Baspasy, Almaty
2017
First Edition
Near fine condition with minor bumping to spine ends and corners, as noted. Boards remain clean and vibrant with only light handling wear. Binding is firm and square. Internally as new—pages are crisp, glossy, and unmarked throughout with no writing, tears, or creases. A very well-preserved copy overall.
Large-format, full-color hardcover with glossy pictorial boards and high-quality coated paper. Richly illustrated throughout with photographic plates, architectural imagery, and historical visuals. Decorative endpapers feature an embossed-style city map design. Clean, modern layout with a mix of narrative text, captions, and inset informational panels. 152 pages, extensively illustrated.
Produced as a commemorative and educational volume, this book documents the rapid transformation of Astana (now Nur-Sultan/Astana again) into a modern capital, blending historical narrative with contemporary architectural ambition. The inclusion of Expo 2017 content and a foreword-style message attributed to President Nursultan Nazarbayev anchors it in a specific moment of national identity-building. These government-backed or civic publications often have limited international distribution, making them less commonly encountered outside the region despite their high production quality.
