Through Siberia

- The Land Of The Future (1914)

Bag om Through Siberia

Through Siberia: The Land Of The Future is a travelogue written by the Norwegian explorer and scientist Fridtjof Nansen. The book was first published in 1914 and chronicles Nansen's journey through Siberia in 1913. Nansen's aim was to explore the vast and little-known region of Siberia, which he believed to be a land of great potential and future development. The book is divided into two parts. The first part details Nansen's journey from St. Petersburg to Irkutsk, a city in eastern Siberia. Along the way, he describes the people, landscapes, and natural resources of the region. He also notes the challenges faced by the Russian government in developing the area, including its harsh climate and vast distances.The second part of the book covers Nansen's travels through the Altai Mountains, a remote and rugged region on the border between Russia, Mongolia, and China. Nansen and his team encountered many obstacles, including difficult terrain, hostile locals, and harsh weather conditions. Despite these challenges, Nansen remained optimistic about the region's potential for future development.Through Siberia: The Land Of The Future is not only a travelogue but also a reflection on the potential of Siberia as a land of opportunity. Nansen believed that Siberia could become a major economic and cultural hub, connecting Europe and Asia. He saw the region's vast resources, including timber, minerals, and fertile land, as a means of transforming the area into a prosperous and thriving region.Overall, Through Siberia: The Land Of The Future provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known region of the world and the vision of one of the greatest explorers of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
