br. Con l'esattezza di uno storico e la tensione di un narratore, Jurji Semenov ci fa rivivere l'epico e appassionante racconto della conquista della Siberia. Dai primi cacciatori di pellicce alla famiglia Stroganov, che aprì le porte di questo immenso paese pieno di ricchezze; dai massacri degli indigeni alla dura colonizzazione, pagata con la fatica dei deportati; dalle eroiche spedizioni che scoprirono nuovi territori alla formazione della Grande Russia, si snoda l'epopea di quattro secoli di storia. Attraverso la conquista della Siberia ripercorriamo la storia russa, con le passioni e le idee che l'hanno caratterizzata: la formazione del granducato di Mosca, la lotta di Ivan il Terribile contro i boiari, la vittoria sui tartari, l'Impero di Pietro il Grande, la rivolta polacca, la grande illusione decabrista... Senza risparmiarci i dettagli più cruenti e impressionanti, l'autore ci trascina in un'epoca di interminabili viaggi e indicibili torture, rivelandoci una logica di conquista e inserimento coloniale retta da un rispetto assoluto del rigore e al di sopra di qualsiasi altro interesse, umano o economico che fosse. Tante le vicende coinvolgenti qui raccontate: dai ribelli che tentarono di sottrarsi alle rigide regole, alle donne, di qualsiasi estrazione sociale, che affrontarono ghiacci e inumane fatiche per ricongiungersi ai propri uomini, condannati ai lavori forzati. Il lungo cammino dell'Impero russo verso la conquista di un territorio sconosciuto, tra vittorie e sconfitte, un racconto che è una vera e propria avventura su terre ghiacciate, rivelatesi nel tempo fondamentali miniere di materie prime e ricchezze.
