Description

"Bright, anecdotal stories about all kinds of trips and climbs by Bykov—from exotic Peru to the not-so-distant “Grace.”

Dmitry Bykov is a brilliant publicist, with his own—and very special—view of the world. And how could it be any other way? After all, he has seen so much.

“I'm not lucky enough to have lived in the most beloved time—Moems’ time, Kipling’s time—and if I had, it probably wouldn’t have been loved. But the trip for palolo is precisely such a Moem-style plot, and it surely would have had funny adventures, and there’s something in it of poetic hunting for inspiration—one year you wait for one day to use it to the fullest.”
