Adventure than to go anyway. Discovery passion of the United States in favor multiple parties, receptions, awards, balls. Then embarkation for Vladivostok to attend and participate in an end of life plan, citadel besieged by the Reds.
Youth, passion, immoderate taste for adventure and life, women, alcohol and the flame of love, animate this autobiographical narrative style similar to that of Hemingway.
This book, written in 1975 on the evening of the life of Joseph Kessel, breathes in one sitting.
