"Far Away Land” is the first book by Nikolay Zadornov (1909–1995) from the cycle of novels about the seafarer G. Nevelskoy and the first explorers of the Far East—men ready without hesitation to push the boundaries of what is possible and open a path to new, hitherto unknown lands. The vast forests of the Amur region are rich with animals, and in the great river and its tributaries fish never run out. In this wild and free world, small semi-wild tribes live easily and happily—hunters and fishermen.

But one day, foreigners appear there—“locha,” the Russians. And the life of the Amur region changes forever.
How can trusting Nanai people tell a friend from an enemy?
How to understand which of the newcomers wants to rob their rich, untouched land—and which is ready to become their faithful companion and defender?
