In the heart of Asia, where the Mongolian steppes and Siberian forests collide, rises the Amur, the tenth longest river on the planet, marking over 1,600 km the border between Russia and China, one of the most strictly guarded in the world. Along the coast stretch villages forgotten by the world, ancient graves, Mongolian temples, ruins of Soviet objects - and among them, under the shadow of great history, people are trying to live. They belong to different peoples and cultures, speak different languages and have different memories of the past of these lands. Some fought to stay in their native places, others found themselves here against their will. Colin Tabron, one of the most famous authors of travel books in the West, began his more than half-century literary career with visits to China and the USSR. "The Amur River" becomes the culmination of his remarkable career. The publishing design is preserved in PDF A4 format.
