Przhevalsky

The name of Nikolai Mikhailovich Przhevalsky (1839—1888) is forever inscribed in the history of both Russian and world science and geographical discoveries. However, today, few remember the specific discoveries made by this outstanding traveler, and of the dozens of species of animals and plants he discovered for the first time, only Przhevalsky's horse is well known. The book by writer Olga Pogodina is a detailed and moving account of the short but incredibly rich life of our great compatriot, filled with contributions for the good of science and Russia.
