Resumen del Editor
"A gripping read with fascinating political insight." (Sunday Times, London)
"Elegant, elegiac and poignant...Thubron is an intrepid traveler, a shrewd observer and a lyrical guide... to the river, much of it along the border between these two powers at a time of rapid and tense reconfiguration of global geopolitics." (Washington Post)
The most admired travel writer of our time - author of Shadow of the Silk Road and To a Mountain in Tibet - recounts an eye-opening, often perilous journey along a little known Far East Asian river that for over a thousand miles forms the highly contested border between Russia and China.
The Amur River is almost unknown. Yet it is the 10th longest river in the world, rising in the Mongolian mountains and flowing through Siberia to the Pacific. For 1,100 miles, it forms the tense border between Russia and China. Simmering with the memory of land-grabs and unequal treaties, this is the most densely fortified frontier on Earth.
In his 80th year, Colin Thubron takes a dramatic journey from the Amur’s secret source to its giant mouth, covering almost 3,000 miles. Harassed by injury and by arrest from the local police, he makes his way along both the Russian and Chinese shores, starting out by Mongolian horse, then hitchhiking, sailing on poacher’s sloops or travelling the Trans-Siberian Express. Having revived his Russian and Mandarin, he talks to everyone he meets, from Chinese traders to Russian fishermen, from monks to indigenous peoples. By the time he reaches the river’s desolate end, where Russia’s 19th-century imperial dream petered out, a whole, pivotal world has come alive.
The Amur River is a shining masterpiece by the acknowledged laureate of travel writing, an urgent lesson in history and the culmination of an astonishing career.

Historia
Nogales is a border town caught between Mexico and the United States of America. A 40-foot steel fence runs through its centre, separating the prosperous US side from the impoverished Mexican side. It is a fascinating site of tension, now more than ever, as the town fills with hopeful border crossers and the deportees who have been caught and brought back. And it is here that Paul Theroux will begin his journey into the culturally rich but troubled heart of modern Mexico.

Stewart was raised along the border of the two countries, the frontier taking on poignant significance in his understanding of what it means to be both Scottish and English, of his relationship with his father, who's lived on this land his whole life, and of his ties to the rich history and culture of the region.

American-born Paul Theroux had lived in England for 11 years when he realized he'd explored dozens of exotic locations without discovering anything about his adopted home. So, with a knapsack on his back, he set out to explore by walking and by short train trips. The result is a witty, observant and often acerbic look at an ever eccentric assortments of Brits in all shapes and sizes.

Unrest in the Balkans has gone on for centuries. A seasoned reporter, Winchester visited the region twenty years ago.

Kassabova was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, and grew up under the drab, muddy, gray mantle of one of communism’s most mindlessly authoritarian regimes. Escaping with her family as soon as possible after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, she lived in Britain, New Zealand, and Argentina, and several other places. But when Bulgaria was formally inducted to the European Union she decided it was time to return to the home she had spent most of her life trying to escape. What she found was a country languishing under the strain of transition. This two-part memoir of Kapka’s childhood and return explains life on the other side of the Iron Curtain.

Historia
From a variety of masterfully rendered perspectives, these six stories depict people at painful odds with the world around them. A wife can only surrender to a desert night by betraying her husband. An artist struggles to honor his own aspirations as well as society's expectations of him. A missionary brutally converted to the worship of a tribal fetish is left with but an echo of his identity. Whether set in North Africa, Paris, or Brazil, the stories in Exile and the Kingdom are probing portraits of spiritual exile, and man's perpetual search for an inner kingdom.

A narrative of exploration - full of strange landscapes and even stranger inhabitants - that explains the enduring fascination of France. While Gustave Eiffel was changing the skyline of Paris, large parts of France were still terra incognita. Even in the age of railways and newspapers, France was a land of ancient tribal divisions, prehistoric communication networks, and pre-Christian beliefs. French itself was a minority language.

The result is an immersive, enthralling exploration of the ghosts and voices that haunt old paths, of the stories our tracks keep and tell, and of pilgrimage and ritual. Told in Macfarlane’s distinctive voice, The Old Ways folds together natural history, cartography, geology, archaeology, and literature.

It seemed to be rather repetitious. But, the writer conveyed the ethnic and political animosity of many of the sub groups. It appears to be a collection of abandoned and discarded people.

Fascinating journey
The story was fascinating. What an adventure.
The narration was very good, although all of the voices sounded exactly the same, stereotype Russians.
What would have improve this Audible book was some pdf maps, etc. It’s hard to follow the journey without them

Never the Same River Twice
A journey from the source of the Amur to the sea, across the ruins of the civilizations that have nestled it's banks. The long border between Russia and China highlights the remains of a history that is largely lost to the cover of communism and revolution. The author works with guides, and talks to locals, across his journey (to the concern of Russian intelligence services). Overall a worthwhile read highlighting a remote part of the world.

Love post-soviet "space"? Enjoy ruin porn? Secretly pine for a police state, inter ethnic strife (DIE) and illicit caviar? Think Chinese people are responsible for every bad thing ever but are still a loyal Amazon customer? Then you're gonna love the fun loving and good natured folks sprinkled alongside the comfy waters of the amur.

WORTH LISTENING
This is a very interesting book. It covers so much territory, so many different situations and interactions with people from diverse backgrounds.
Many of the places mentioned you can follow on Google Earth.
The Amur River can also be followed on Google Earth as a depiction of a River, instead of a fine line. Some of the cities along the river can also be viewed in more detail. This possibility makes listening to the book more interesting and enjoyable.
I also recommend listening to his other book: “Shadow of the Silk Road”.
All in all, both books are worth investing in.
The narrator, mr. Jonathan Keeble, was a joy to listen to.
My thanks to all involved, JK

Bleak
Not that I should have expected anything different, knowing the area geographically at any rate. I did learn about the history and culture, which I really appreciated, but it's mostly sad, when it isn't horrifying. And the narrator was so stern. Like a teacher who doesn't particularly enjoy his work, but wants to impart every fact so you won't forget it!
