Description

London: The Travel Book Companion, 1960. - 247 c. Скан 600dpiЭто отчет автора, канадца, о путешествии поездом через Советский Союз в Китай в 1958 году. Книга полезна для людей интересующихся тем периодом, она дает массу психологических и бытовых деталей которые обычно упускаются в книгах по истории того периода. The keynote of this lively, shrewd account of an unusual journey across China Ues in the author’s remark that, to his mind, ‘one should never miss a chance to see something new.’ The fact that he was to be in Moscow in the Summer of 1958 for the final meeting of the Special Committee which had organized the International Geophysical Year seemed to Dr Wilson an obvious chance to travel to Peking by the Trans- Siberian Railway and to visit the interior of China. His unique position in the scientific world gave him access to people and places that most travellers in China will never see.
