Condition: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. HE SAW COMMERCIAL EMPIRES WHERE OTHERS SAW FROZEN WILDERNESS A fascinating firsthand account by Norwegian entrepreneur and explorer Jonas Lied, whose career unfolded across the immense and often inaccessible regions of Siberia during the final decades of Imperial Russia and the turbulent years that followed. More than a personal memoir, the work presents an insider's view of commerce, transportation, exploration, and political transformation across one of the world's last great frontiers. Lied recounts his efforts to develop Arctic trade routes, navigate the Siberian river systems, and foster commercial connections between Europe and Asia. His narrative brings readers into contact with explorers, industrialists, government officials, and indigenous peoples while documenting the opportunities and hardships of life in remote northern Russia. Richly illustrated and supported by maps, the volume remains an important source for the history of Siberian development, Arctic transportation, and pre-Revolutionary Russia. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Publisher's gray cloth. 8.5 inches tall. 318 pages. Illustrated with 15 photographic plates. Three maps, including one folding map. CONDITION: Bindings are tight and secure. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Minimal shelf handling wear. Spine lettering faded, as commonly encountered. No dust jacket. A solid, attractive First Edition with sound hinges and a well-preserved text block.
