Information Product Mark 12+ Vladimir Klavdievich Arsenyev is one of the most famous and courageous researchers of Transbaikalia and the Far East. He made more than a dozen hiking expeditions, walked hundreds of kilometers through the endless taiga expanses and mountain ranges of the Ussuri region and Sikhote-Alin. But in all his campaigns, except for scientific diaries, Arsenyev always kept personal notes - sketches, sketches, impressions, meetings, interesting cases. It was from these records that his famous works were later born - the novels “Across the Ussuri Region” and “Dersu Uzala”, which became classics of Russian adventure literature. The new book includes lesser-known, but no less interesting stories and artistic essays by Vladimir Arsenyev. “In the Mountains of Sikhote-Alin” is a fascinating story about a journey through the wild taiga, off-road conditions and almost complete desertion. The author and his comrades traveled more than a thousand kilometers; the journey lasted a year and a half. The story “Through the Taiga” is dedicated to Arsenyev’s last great journey through Sikhote-Alin and amazes with vivid and rich descriptions of the nature and inhabitants of this region, and several small essays only complement the beautiful picture of the grandeur and immensity of the Far Eastern region.
