«In Siberia» is Colin Thubron's travelogue through the Russian region, published by Harper Perennial in paperback (304 pages, in English).
Colin Thubron crosses Siberia alone by train, boat, car, and on foot, from Mongolia to the Arctic Circle, through tundra, taiga, mountains, lakes, and rivers. Thubron talks with Siberians and portrays a territory damaged by exploitation, nuclear waste, and the legacy of the Gulag, without forgetting the hospitality and hope of its people.
The work was originally published in 1999; this is the first Perennial edition (2000) and includes an index. The book was nominated for the Ryszard Kapuściński Award in 2011.
For readers of travel literature and of the history of Russia and the former Soviet Union.
