Features: This is a legendary woman who has been on the road since birth. She is a master's degree holder from Russia—though no one thinks so. She is the girl from China who treats humor, this noble art, with utter nonchalance. She was once titled one of the "Five Talented Women of the Post-80s"—though she has no idea what that means. It's hard to tell whether the mystery lies in Russia or in her. While reading this book, you'll wonder if it's a travelogue, or the story of a person with a fate like a travelogue, or the of the vast continent, echoing for three years. Moscow, both fervent and indifferent; St. Petersburg, cool yet tender; the south, the Caucasus, the Cossacks, the Azov Sea; Siberia, Lake Baikal; fog in the Arctic Circle; the aria of the white night; the operetta of the Volga, Neva, Don, and Yenisei rivers; real life, intertwined with endless dreams.
