The Border - A Journey Around Russia - Erika Fatland Kartoniert (TB)

Erika Fatland travels along the seemingly endless Russian border - from North Korea in the Far East through Russia's bordering states in Asia and the Caucasus crossing the Caspian Ocean and the Black Sea along the way. The Border is a book about Russia and Russian history without its author ever entering Russia itself a book about being the neighbour of that mighty expanding empire throughout history. It is a chronicle of the colourful exciting tragic and often unbelievable histories of these bordering nations their cultures their people their landscapes. Through her last three documen tary books - one about terrorism in Beslan one about the 2011 terror attacks in Norway and one about post-Soviet Central Asia - social anthropologist Erika Fatland has established herself as a sharp observer and an outstanding interviewer at the forefront of Nordic non-fiction.
