Siberian Epic

In the book presented to the reader by journalist, writer, and professor at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) Eric Hösli, the professional, lively pen of the author merges with his passion for scientific work. He analyzes in detail and depth the history that, in his opinion, surpasses any Western - the great expedition into Siberia and the conquest of the Russian North.

We are presented not only with archival pages of this epic, - although the factual side of the matter is written very meticulously and accompanied by maps and references to archives and documents, - but also the author's interest in people: their actions, motives, feelings, ideas, and deeds. This book can confidently be called special - it presents to us the Siberian epic as a story with a human face.
