In Siberia

As mysterious as its beautiful, as forbidding as it is populated with warm-hearted people, Syberia is a land few Westerners know, and even fewer will ever visit. Traveling alone, by train, boat, car, and on foot, Colin Thubron traversed this vast territory, talking to everyone he encountered about the state of the beauty, whose natural resources have been savagely exploited for decades; a terrain tainted by nuclear waste but filled with citizens who both welcomed him and fed him?despite their own tragic poverty. From Mongoloia to the Artic Circle, from Rasputin's village in the west through tundra, taiga, mountains, lakes, rivers, and finally to a derelict Jewish community in the country's far eastern reaches, Colin Thubron penetrates a little-understood part of the world in a way that no writer ever has.

  • "Récit d'un voyage réalisé dans une des régions les plus inhospitalières du globe, large comme les États-Unis. C. Thubron exprime l'émerveillement que lui procure ce pays en évoquant les grues blanches dansant sur le permafrost ou encore une ville flottant sur la banquise. Les descriptions se mêlent aux portraits de personnes croisées.--[Memento]."

  • "Travelling through exotic cities and deserted villages by truck, boat and bus, this is a travel writer's account of his meetings with nostalgic old Stalinists, and aggressive Orthodox churchmen while interweaving Siberia's history with a vivid description of the place today."
