Fyodor Konyukhov is a world-famous universal traveler. Yachtsman, mountaineer, polar explorer, balloonist and artist. Amazingly, all of this is combined in one person. The list of his world records takes up several pages and continues to grow.

The author of the book, Oskar Konyukhov, is the son, associate and manager of the famous traveler. He talks about how carefully and painstakingly the unique round-the-world balloon trip was prepared, because such a project is a real challenge to the elements and the physical capabilities of a person. It is important to foresee, think through and connect hundreds of serious moments.

This book is about what achievements are made of, it is for those who make dreams come true. The publication contains unique color photographs of the flight and its preparation, diary entries and documents from the archive of the expedition headquarters. 11 days at an altitude of 10 thousand meters, 3 oceans and 3 continents, extreme weather conditions - and only one person. In the fall of 2023, the film "Lord of the Wind" was released, where the role of Fyodor Konyukhov was played by Fyodor Bondarchuk.
