The wolf Axle (Paperback)

Customer Review

After doing with his friend Alexandre Poussin, circle the earth on bicycle ("We drove on earth") and a longitudinal crossing of the whole chain of the Himalayas on foot ("walking in the sky") Sylvain Tesson only undertakes the crossing of Russia starting from Yakutsk in Siberia and Mongolia, China, Tibet and India to follow the North-South route, the axis of the wolf, anyone who tried qu'enpruntaient to escape the hell of the Soviet gulag and communist persecutions and currently follow Tibetan colonized by the Chinese.
He walks at a rate of forty kilometers a day, avoiding bears around Lake Baikal and horse through the vast Mongolian steppe and uses the bike in the Gobi Desert.
That's one of the last adventurers of the modern world, one of the last travelers "by fair means" who has long deserved our admiration, that we do not leave the marked trails and dare never really go through our dreams and our physical abilities.
Eight months of suffering for an extraordinary journey, a sporting feat thousand times the ridiculous exploits "Olympic" or faked cyclists EPO and other substances. Tesson is a true conqueror of the impossible. He takes us behind in a beautiful book that devours any speed. We even want more!
Bravo, Mr. Tesson!
