"Much of the book's touted value comes from the fact that it relates Albanov's own account of his own ordeal, his ipsissima verba; in light of which its haphazard translation history is especially baffling....Somewhere, lapping at the margins of Albanov's experience, is a great human drama; but it is not revealed in the material that has survived. IN THE LAND OF WHITE DEATH is what it is: one man's lean chronicle of an incredible journey of survival. For anything more, the reader must look to his own imagination."Albanov, Valerian is the author of 'In the Land of White Death An Epic Story of Survival in the Siberian Arctic', published 2000 under ISBN 9780679783619 and ISBN 067978361X.
