Description: To the Edge of the World is an adventure in travel -- full ì of extraordinary personalities, more than a century of explosive ì political, economic, and cultural events, and almost ì inconceivable feats of engineering. Christian Wolmar passionately ì recounts the improbable origins of the Trans-Siberian railroad, ì the vital artery for Russian expansion that spans almost 6,000 ì miles and seven time zones from Moscow to Vladivostok. The ì world's longest train route took a decade to build -- in the face ì of punishing climates, rampant disease, scarcity of funds and ì materials, and widespread corruption.
