The land of the Tulun State Breeding Station is one of those memorable places from where bread baked from its own, not imported, flour began to be produced throughout Siberia and the Far East. Unique varieties of frost-resistant wheat and many other agricultural crops were bred here. At the origins of this great cause stood Vasily Stepanovich Markin, a scientist and breeder, a tireless worker with an unusually difficult fate, whose life is traced by the writer over 50 years. The book also includes stories and essays about the richness of Siberian nature, about hunting in the taiga wilderness, catching grayling in river rapids and rafting along the wild mountain rivers of the Eastern Sayan. The heroes of the stories are dashing taiga wanderers looking for an answer to the question: "What force makes us climb into the taiga wilderness? What kind of strange passion is this - to wander with a gun along wooded slopes or to fish in a mountain river that is not on large maps and whose name is known only to local residents and seasoned taiga dwellers?
