New preface by Jaimy Gordon. 8vo. ix, [ii], 352 pp. Maps; illus.; glossary of local terms; index. "Vladimir Klavdievich Arseniev…(1872-1930) undertook twelve major scientific expeditions between 1902 and 1930 in the Siberian Far East, and authored some sixty works from the geographical, geological, botanical, and ethnographic data he amassed. Among these, Dersu the Trapper has earned a privileged place in Russian literature. In this Russian counterpart to The Journals of Lewis and Clark and the novels of James Fenimore Cooper, Arseniev combines the precise observations of a naturalist with an exciting narrative of real-life adventure. " Dersu's life is the subject of a film made by the Japanese director Kurosawa. Ships fast with tracking.
