Dersu the Trapper

In DERSU THE TRAPPER, Arseniev gives an account of his travels in the Ussuri region of far eastern Siberia in the early 1900s. It is a wilderness filled with creatures and tribes that make our Wild West look tame. Much of the narrative is woven around the character of Dersu Uzala, a native of the region, who became the author's guide, counselor and friend during these expeditions.
