Among the Russians

Winner of the 2019 Edward Stanford Travel Writing Award''s Outstanding Contribution to Travel Writing Among the Russians is a marvellous account of Colin Thubron''s solitary journey by car from St Petersburg and the Baltic states, south to Georgia and Armenia. A gifted writer and intrepid traveller, Thubron grapples with the complexities of Russian identity and relays his extraordinary journey in characteristically lyrical style. This is an enthralling account of the habits and idiosyncrasies of a fascinating nation and also a sharp and insightful social commentary on Russian life.
