In villages unseen by outsiders since before the revolution, Phillip Marsden encounters men and women of courage, dazed by the century's turbulence. He meets such figures as the Yezidi Sheikh of Sheikhs, Pushkin the wandering doctor and an exiled Georgian prince. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

But religion is not Marsden's only interest in southern Russia: he is also looking for the people who lived their first, like the Adyghe and the Ossetians. War with Georgia also causes issues, since his ultimate goal, the place where the Doukhobors burned their weapons in the face of conscription, lies in the present day republic. The author does an excellent job of showing just how un-Russian many of these frontier places are, especially closer to the Caucasus, through his experiences without ever saying anything. In my mind this is the sign of a good writer, and I will definitely be reading more Marsden in the future. Highly recommended. ( )
