Colin Thubron — In Siberia

Paperback; 2000; Penguin Books Ltd; 304pp.; Conditie: Goed; In the early 80s Colin Thubron wrote a bestselling book about his travels around the Soviet Union in an old Morris Minor. In the late 90s, post Soviet Union, he decided to explore Siberia - this time by truck, by bus, by boat. The result is a wonderfully readable and evocative account of an extraordinary region. He travels through exotic cities and deserted villages, meets nostalgic old Stalinists and aggressive Orthodox churchmen, and generally interweaves Siberia's fascinating history with a vivid description of the place today.; Engels; ISBN10: 014026860X, ISBN13: 9780140268607
