«White Fever: A Journey to the Frozen Heart of Siberia» is Jacek Hugo-Bader's travel narrative, published by Portobello Books in hardcover and in English.
In the depths of winter, as a gift for his fiftieth birthday, Jacek Hugo-Bader drives an off-road vehicle from Moscow to Vladivostok. The journey crosses a hostile region and portrays reindeer herders, former hippies, shamans and the sick: a post-communist Siberia marked by alcoholism and hopelessness, but not without black humor.
Original title: «Biała gorączka»; translated from the Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones. English edition of 323 pages. The work is part of the «Trylogia rosyjska» series.
A read for those who enjoy narrative journalism, travel literature and testimonies about the post-Soviet reality.
