Sobre IBD

First published in 2006. This book by Stephen Graham is a supremely unique take on travel through Russia and the Caucasus. Graham takes to the road in a modest fashion, with a bag and his camera at his side. As he arrives in Moscow not long after the Russian Revolution in 1917 he is not welcomed with open arms. Instead, Graham is greeted by a group of soldiers as he walks down the street and is arrested. He recounts this experience, as well as every moment of his time spent ’vagabonding’ across the Caucasus with glorious detail. His photographs to accompany the text capture the fleeting moments of this politically heated time in Russia with candid accuracy. This momentous work is not to be overlooked by anyone interested in travel or history, or anyone with a taste for an unconventional account of the land of the Caucasus.
