ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Trans-Baikal Territory is one of Russia's most interesting and astonishing regions. The immense steppes east of Lake Baikal were settled 30,000 years ago. Transbaikal Territory has witnessed the rise and fall of many civilisations, including Genghis Khan's Mongol empire - the largest empire in history. The great conqueror was born not far from Chita, in the Onon River valley.
These lands were later explored by Russian Cossacks, who founded the first large settlements and forts. Trans-Baikal Territory is also home to the Buryats, its native inhabitants. Agin-Buryat district was previously a separate federal subject of the Russian Federation.
The nature of the Trans-Baikal Territory is amazing, with endless grasslands and intermittent lakes in the south and glaciated mountain peaks and wild whitewater rivers in the north. The western part of the region is covered by pristine taiga forests, which are home to perennial Siberian pines and rare wild animals. Alkhanay Mountain deserves a separate mention.

A Fortune-Teller Told Me. Earthbound Travels in the Far East (Flamingo)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 1473.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Warned by a fortune-teller not to risk flying, the author – a seasoned correspondent – took to travelling by rail, road and sea. Consulting fortune-tellers and shamans wherever he went, he learnt to understand and respect older ways of life and beliefs now threatened by the crasser forms of Western modernity.
William Shawcross in the Literary Review praised Terzani for ‘his beautifully written adventure story… a voyage of self-discovery… He sees fortune-tellers, soothsayers, astrologers, chiromancers, seers, shamans, magicians, palmists, frauds, men and women of god (many gods) all over Asia and in Europe too… Almost every page and every story celebrates the mystical and the unknowable. It is a fabulous story of renewal and change… Terzani is already something of a legend. He has written magnificently all his life. Never better than now.’
Yes, the fortune-teller did save him from an air-crash in Cambodia. Looking back afterwards, Terzani reckoned that ‘I was marked for death and instead I was reborn.’

In Xanadu. A Quest (Harpercollins)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 1473.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
One of the most successful, influential and acclaimed travel books of recent years from the author of ‘Return of a King’, which has been shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson prize.
At the age of twenty-two, William Dalrymple left his college in Cambridge to travel to the ruins of Kublai Khan’s stately pleasure dome in Xanadu. This is an account of a quest which took him and his companions across the width of Asia, along dusty, forgotten roads, through villages and cities full of unexpected hospitality and wildly improbable escapades, to Coleridge’s Xanadu itself.
At once funny and knowledgeable, In Xanadu is in the finest tradition of British travel writing. Told with an exhilarating blend of eloquence, wit, poetry and delight, it is already established as a classic of its kind.

A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush (William Collins)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 1473.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A classic of travel writing, A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush is Eric Newby’s iconic account of his journey through one of the most remote and beautiful wildernesses on earth.
It was 1956, and Eric Newby was earning an improbable living in the chaotic family business of London haute couture. Pining for adventure, Newby sent his friend Hugh Carless the now-famous cable – CAN YOU TRAVEL NURISTAN JUNE? – setting in motion a legendary journey from Mayfair to Afghanistan, and the mountains of the Hindu Kush, north-east of Kabul.
Inexperienced and ill prepared (their preparations involved nothing more than some tips from a Welsh waitress), the amateurish rogues embark on a month of adventure and hardship in one of the most beautiful wildernesses on earth – a journey that adventurers with more experience and sense may never have undertaken. With good humour, sharp wit and keen observation, the charming narrative style of A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush would soon crystallise Newby's reput ...

The End of the Road. A journey around Britain in search of the dead (Mudlark)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 1473.00 руб.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A wonderfully quixotic, charming and surprisingly uplifting travelogue which sees Jack Cooke, author of the much-loved The Treeclimbers Guide, drive around the British Isles in a clapped-out forty-year old hearse in search of famous – and not so famous – tombs, graves and burial sites.
Along the way, he launches a daredevil trespass into Highgate Cemetery at night, stumbles across the remains of the Welsh Druid who popularised cremation and has time to sit and ponder the imponderables at the graveside of the Lady of Hoy, an 18th century suicide victim whose body was kept in near condition by the bog in which she was buried. A truly unique, beautifully written and wonderfully imagined book.

Islands of Abandonment. Life in the Post-Human Landscape (William Collins)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 1473.00 руб.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
This is a book about abandoned places: ghost towns and exclusion zones, no man’s lands and fortress islands – and what happens when nature is allowed to reclaim its place.
In Chernobyl, following the nuclear disaster, only a handful of people returned to their dangerously irradiated homes. On an uninhabited Scottish island, feral cattle live entirely wild. In Detroit, once America’s fourth-largest city, entire streets of houses are falling in on themselves, looters slipping through otherwise silent neighbourhoods.
This book explores the extraordinary places where humans no longer live – or survive in tiny, precarious numbers – to give us a possible glimpse of what happens when mankind’s impact on nature is forced to stop. From Tanzanian mountains to the volcanic Caribbean, the forbidden areas of France to the mining regions of Scotland, Flyn brings together some of the most desolate, eerie, ravaged and polluted areas in the world – and shows how, against all odds, they offer our best ...

The Frozen River. Seeking Silence in the Himalaya (William Collins)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 1473.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In 1976 James Crowden left his career in the British army and travelled to Ladakh in the Northern Himalaya, one of the most remote parts of the world. The Frozen River is his extraordinary account of the time he spent there, living alongside the Zangskari people, before the arrival of roads and mass tourism.
James immerses himself in the Zangskari way of life, where meditation and week-long mountain festivals go hand in hand, and silence and solitude are the hallmarks of existence. When butter traders invite James on their journey down the frozen river Leh, he soon realises that this way of living, unchanged for centuries, comes with a very human cost.
In lyrical prose, James captures a crucial moment in time for this Himalayan community. A moment in which their Buddhist practices and traditions are in flux, and the economic pull of a world beyond their valley is increasingly difficult to ignore.

Among the Mountains. Travels Through Asia (Harpercollins)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 1620.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Wilfred Thesiger, this century’s greatest living explorer, recalls his travels among the mountain ranges of Asia.
Although Wilfred Thesiger is still largely associated with the Arabian deserts and the Marshes of Iraq, he has also travelled extensively at intervals, over the years, among mountains and mountain people in other remote areas of the Middle East and Asia.
In 1987 Thesiger wrote: ‘I have always been attracted by mountains…’ And he observed more recently: ‘Had I done nothing else as a traveller except my journeys in Nuristan, these alone would have amounted to something worthwhile’.
Eventful, interesting and remarkable achievements in their own right, the Asian journeys – among the Hindu Kush, the Karakorams and the Pamirs – have inspired many of the finest photographs Thesiger has ever taken and contribute significantly to his standing as a great traveller and explorer.
Spanning a period of over 30 years (1951-1983) this book draws on Thesiger’s or ...

Between the Sunset and the Sea. A View of 16 British Mountains (William Collins)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Simon Ingram takes us high into Britain’s most forbidding and astonishing wild places through all the seasons of the year – from the first blush of spring to the darkest bite of the mountain winter.
In the late 18th century, mountains shifted from being universally reviled to becoming the most inspiring things on earth. Simply put, the monsters became muses – and an entire artistic movement was born. This movement became a love affair, the love affair became an obsession, and gradually but surely, obsession became lifestyle as mountains became stitched into the fabric of the British cultural tapestry.
In his compelling new book, Simon Ingram explores how mountains became such a preoccupation for the modern western imagination, weaving his own adventures into a powerful narrative which provides a kind of experiential hit list for people who don’t have the time nor the will to climb a thousand mountains.
For some of these mountains, the most amazing thing about them might be the journey they’ve taken to get
