Sommario/riassunto |
|
Siberia's immense and threatened "Sacred Sea", Lake Baikal, is the magnet that draws a veteran environmental journalist and his brother around the world and back by train and boat. On this classic journey of discovery, the author takes the measure of the planet, humanity, Russia and his own self as reflected in the world's greatest lake. |
