The books of the famous traveler Vladimir Klavdievich Arsenyev (1872-1930) "In the Ussuri Territory" and "Dersu Uzala" had a difficult path to the reader. The future famous ethnographer, geographer, archaeologist, anthropologist and historian, and at that time a staff captain in the Russian army began working on them in 1906: having led an expedition to the mountainous region of Sikhote-Alin, he finally had the opportunity to fulfill a long-standing dream and to explore the Far East, to which he devoted the rest of his life. Taking as a basis notes from travel diaries, Vladimir Arseniev reworked them into a fascinating adventure prose, preserving the freshness of direct impressions, and the truthfulness of eyewitness accounts. When, after years of work on the texts, the books were finally ready for publication, the October Revolution broke out for several years made the publication impossible.... Since 1920 Arsenyev's works begin to be published in his homeland, and already in 1924 in Berlin with the participation of Fridtjof Nansen saw the German translation of the books "On the Ussuriysky Krai" and "Dersu Uzala". The books were especially popularized by screen adaptations - in 1961 ("Dersu Uzala", directed by Aghasi Babayan) and especially the Oscar-winning film of 1975 ("Dersu Uzala", directed by Akira Kurosawa).
