JOURNEY INTO RUSSIA

LAURENS VAN DER POST 

THE HOGARTH PRESS, LONDON
1964

This book describes one of the longest journeys made in Soviet Russia by a writer without political bias. It is not an account of a search for proof of any view or theory. Colonel van der Post's story is of a journey into the hearts of the Russians and into the hearts of places visited, from Moscow to Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara, Baku and Tbilisi, Kiev, and Moscow to Siberia and back. In this important and remarkable book the author's great gifts make it possible for the reader to share in the fullest degree his own pleasure, shock and discovery. In Journey into Russia Colonel van der Post has done unusual justice to a country which, more than any other, today Attracts the imaginative traveller.
