About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A few years it became possible, for this first time, for a foreigner to travel Siberia almost at will. This is the account of Thubron's 15, 000-mile journey through this astonishing country - one twelfth of the land surface of the whole earth. He journeyed by train, river and truck among the people most damaged by the breakup of the Soviet Union, traveling among Buddhists and animists, radical Christian sects, reactionary Communists and the remnants of a so-call Jewish state; from the site of the last Czar's murder and Rasputin's village, to the ice-bound graves of ancient Sythians, to Baikal, deepest and oldest of the world's lakes. This is the story of a people moving through the ruins of Communism into more private, diverse and often stranger worlds.

Things I didn't like:-
1) In a travelogue about Siberia, temperature plays a very important part. But in this book; even though written by a British author, it's noted in Farenheits. It doesn't even mention Celcius alongside. Simply put, it's a book for Americans and Americans only.
2)An accompanying map would have made it a lot more interesting.
Good listen
