This book by Russian hitchhikers takes the reader along the endless roads of Siberia, the Urals, the Altai, Central Russia and beyond. In energetic and vivid prose they depict some curious Russian types, exotic adventures in places off the beaten track, complex psychological relationships developed on the road, and their inexplicable passion for tramping. They call themselves “the last generation of free travelers in a world that is increasingly becoming more uniform and comfortable and therefore less interesting.”(0.325 kg.)
