In conversation with Christian Tyler

In his 80th year, Colin Thubron, acclaimed travel writer and novelist, made a dramatic and ambitious journey along the 3000 mile river that divides China and Russia. The Amur River is almost unknown and Thubron’s journey from the river’s secret source in Mongolia flowing through
Siberia to its giant mouth in the Pacific, charts a hair-raising adventure which offers a unique perspective of two of the world’s superpowers.
