Odyssey Travel Guides

Moscow, St Petersburg & The Golden Ring Guide
Price: 9.71 GBP
This third edition of Masha Nordbye's acclaimed guide to Russia's heart and soul captures the myriad of changes that have come about in recent years, in many cases, as a product of Russia's new-found petrochemical wealth. Her intimate knowledge of both cities, which she has been visiting for the past 25 years, makes this volume an essential travelling companion. Through this authoritative text, readers can capture the mood and magic of these famous destinations. Moscow's once sombre streets now buzz 24 hours a day with purposeful activity. St. Petersburg's baroque and classical architecture and her canals, an inspiration for musicians, artists, and writers such as Rimsky-Korsakov, Pushkin and Dostoevsky, charm visitors to this day. This guidebook's wealth of information on these two cities and the regions surrounding them will evoke the timeless qualities of Russia's centres of power.

Kamchatka - A Journal & Guide to Russia's Land of Ice and Fire
Price: 9.71 GBP
Why go to Kamchatka? There are no luxury hotels or international spas; no jolly pubs or swanky wine bars and even if there were glamorous beach resorts there are almost no roads to get to them. Although there is a plethora of fish, nowhere can you find it more wonderfully cooked than on a Kamchatkan campfire! This extraordinary country is not for the faint-hearted. But it has some of the most stunning and dramatic volcanic scenery in the world and an inordinate amount of wildlife. To sit on a berry-covered hill and watch reindeer floating down a valley against a backdrop of volcanoes, to go fly-fishing on the Paratunka River or sit in a boat on Lake Kurilskoye and discover a brown bear only yards away; to climb an active volcano and peer down into the depths of its crater are all privileges not afforded to many. Gleadhill's diary account of two Irish ladies "d'un Certain Age" in Russia's Far East draws us into this magnificent landscape.
