Among the Russians is a marvellous account of a 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 and revealing account of the habits and idiosyncrasies of a fascinating nation along with a sharp and insightful social commentary of Russian life. Colin Thubron was born in London in 1939. His earliest travel books were about the Middle East and include Mirror to Damascus and Jerusalem. In the last of the Brezhnev years he explored Western Russia by car and wrote Among the Russians. Later, a gruelling journey took him to some of the remotest regions of China for his Behind the Wall, which won the Hawthornden Prize and the Thomas Cook Travel Award. Eight years later Thubron wrote The Lost Heart of Asia, which describes his travels through Central Asia. In Siberia chronicles his extensive journey through the region mostly by boat and bus. Thubron has also been numbered among 'the current masters of the short novel' (TLS), and called 'one of our most compelling contemporary novelists' (Independent). His fiction includes Falling, Emperor, A Cruel Madness, Turning Back the Sun and Distance. His most recent travel book in Vintage is To the Last City. (20030609)
