Kaukasus likner på Alpene, men er høyere, villere, mer uberørt og eksotisk. Trolig har ingen vest-europeer de seneste ti årene vandret mer til fots enn norske Richard Bærug i dette himmelsk vakre fjellområdet. Fra storslagne fjelltopper bukter svulmende isbreer seg ned mot irrgrønne daler prydet av rhododendronskoger og en overveldende blomsterprakt. Med eld- gamle sledeveier og feiende flotte fjellstier er Kaukasus intet mindre enn et drømmeterreng for turgåere. Det er fortsatt et eventyrland slik Hamsun beskrev det for litt over hundre år siden.

Boka beskriver 80 vakre vandringer til fots i den kaukasiske fjellheimen; både i Georgia, Armenia, Aserbajdsjan, Russland og Tyrkia.

Rising in the Mongolian mountains and flowing through Siberia to the Pacific, the Amur River forms the tense border between Russia and China.

This is the most densely fortified frontier on Earth. Harassed by injury and by arrest from the local police, Thubron makes his way along both the Russian and Chinese shores. By the time he reaches the river's desolate end, a whole, pivotal world has come alive.

In his eightieth year, Colin Thubron takes a dramatic and often treacherous journey from the Amur's secret source to its giant mouth, covering almost 3,000 miles.

Denne boka er unik ved at den på en praktisk måte sammenlikner hvordan de statskontrollerte fjernsynskanalene og det som fortsatt er igjen av mer uavhengige russiske medier rapporterter om Krim, Ukraina, Norge, Baltikum, Tsjetsjenia, Georgia, historie, politikk og en rekke andre temaer. Boka er en hyllest til de tøffe og uavhengige journalistene i Russland som med stor integritet fortsetter å jobbe profesjonelt til tross for hyppige drap, overfall, trusler og statlig press.

Boka er med på å forklare hvordan flertallet av russere ofte tenker annerledes en andre europeere, og er en påminnelse om hva som skjer når man ikke lenger makter å tenke kritisk.

From the Iran-Iraq War through the Occupation, this collection of fictional short stories presents an uncompromising view of the relationship between the West and Iraq, as well as a haunting critique of the postwar refugee experience. Blending allegory with historical realism and subverting expectations in an unflinching comedy of the macabre, these tales manage to be both phantasmagoric and shockingly real. For all the despair and darkness portrayed in these gripping stories, from spotlighting hostage-video makers in Baghdad to following human trafficking in Serbia's forests, what lingers more than the haunting images of war is the spirit of defiance and of indefatigable courage.
