Book Synopsis

There is no travel writer working today in English who possesses such a remarkable combination of the observant and the lyric gifts--the most poetic of us all.  — Jan Morris

The first book in Thubron''s Russian trilogy AMONG THE RUSSIANS, called superb by the New York Times Book Review, recounts Thurbon''s 10,000 mile journey throughout half of Russia''s cities and countryside.

Here is a fresh perspective on the last tumultuous years of the Soviet Union and an exquisitely poetic travelogue. With a keen grasp of Russia''s history, a deep appreciation for its architecture and iconography, and an inexhaustible enthusiasm for its people and its culture, Colin Thubron is the perfect guide to a country most of us will never get to know firsthand. Here, we can walk down western Russia''s country roads, rest in its villages, and explore some of the most engaging cities in the world. Beautifully written and infinitely insight
