توضیحات
The acclaimed author ofSovietistantravels along the seemingly endless Russian border and reveals the deep and pervasive influence it has hadacross half the globe.Imperial, communist or autocratic, Russia has been—and remains—a towering and intimidating neighbor. Whether it is North Korea in the Far East through the former Soviet republics in Asia and the Caucasus, or countries onthe Caspian Ocean and the Black Sea. What would it be like to traverse the entirety of the Russian periphery to examine its effects on those closest to her? An astute and brilliant combination of lyric travel writing and modern history,The Border is a book about Russia without its author ever entering Russia itself. Fatland gets to the heart of what it has meant to be theneighbor of that mighty, expanding empire throughout history. As we follow Fatland on her journey, we experience thecolorful, exciting, tragic and often unbelievable histories of these bordering nations along with their cultures, their people, their landscapes. Sharply observed and wholly absorbing,The Borderis a surprising new way to understand a broad part our world.
