Siberia, to me, is a fairy-tale land. Fritz Dörries set out on his
first trip to Eastern Siberia in 1877, when there were still blank
spaces on maps of the world. Travelling alone or with his brothers,
he climbed mountains, traversed great rivers, explored remote
islands and crossed treacherous lakes of ice, always with one
purpose: to augment man's knowledge of the natural world. Bears,
tigers, vipers, bandits, stormy seas, frostbite, ice chasms fathoms
deep - every danger was faced head on and overcome. And yet he
remained defenceless against the charms of the landscape, and the
animals, birds and butterflies he found there. Through his
twenty-two years in Siberia, Dörries collected a wealth of
essential material for scientific institutions, fundamental to our
understanding of fauna and flora. This account of his adventures,
set down for his daughters in his ninetieth year, and adapted for
publication by Roy Jacobsen and Anneliese Pitz, is his second great
legacy. Translated from the Norwegian by Seán Kinsella
