Cossacks stop a madly racing sleigh with passengers wrapped in three layers of fur. There are two arrested and they pose as French travelers. But Captain Emenov is not so simple. He has steel in his eyes, and instead of a paperweight there is a heavy revolver. This is not something to joke about. Moreover, when there is an alarming report on the table, and the detainees brazenly mock, declaring that they are going to Brazil. This is through Siberia! Well, the way is clear - hard labor and death or indefinite settlement in places where even the sun is cold lies ahead. What is your choice, gentlemen adventurers? Louis Boussenard is at his best. The next volume of “Masters of Adventure” includes one of the writer’s early novels, “From Paris to Brazil by Land,” which, as always, is full of unpredictable plot twists and fascinating geographical details.
