En Descendant Les Fleuves

"This book is the report of the journey we made in the Far East of Russia, starting from Yakutsk, in the heart of Siberia, the largest city in the world built on permafrost. It is about the week-long trip down the immense Lena River; the landing in the astonishing, sepulchral, adisaster-stricken city of Tiksi, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean; the departure to Khabarovsk, on the Amur River, just across from China; a day in Birobidjan, where Yiddish is one of the two official languages; and finally the arrival in Vladivostok, on the Pacific coast, a stone's throw from North Korea, China and Japan. " Éric Faye and Christian Garcin
