Famed naturalists Gerald and Lee Durrell explore the magnificent wildlife of the vast Russian reserves - from Arctic North to desert South, European West to Oriental East. Indexed and illustrated.
Here is spectacular colour and vividly described is a Russia that travelers - even those from Russia itself - rarely see. Durrell in Russia is a stunning visual record of naturalists Gerald and Lee Durrell's travels across the vast landscape of the Soviet Union.
Lavishly illustrated with more than 300 colour photographs, it traces their journey to some of the Soviet Union's most impressive sites, many never before visited by foreigners.
The Durrells bring their expert knowledge, keen perception and talent for exploration to the rich variety of Soviet landscape and animal and plant life. Their journey takes in everything from the familiar to the exotic: from reindeer, seals and swans to the saiga, the Caucasian tur and the Siberian ibex.
Entertaining and charming Durrell in Russia is an utterly absorbing look at the people and wildlife of the largest country on earth.
