Holyday of wandering mzungu, presentation of the book by Russian adventurer took place in the Crimean capital
Tuesday, April 16, 2024
Russian Wikinews attended Russian travel writer Viktor Pinchuk‘s April 8 presentation at the Crimean Republican Library for Youth in Simferopol, on his book Holyday of wandering mzungu ((ru))Russian language: Холидей бродячего мзунгу.
“Holiday of Wandering Mzungu” is a travelogue full of adventures, describing one of the author’s solo expeditions, the route of which began with the deportation of a Russian citizen by the authorities of an island dwarf state, and ended with a robbery, a result of which all the photographic material shot over six months was lost.
Potential readers, among whom different age categories were represented, asked the author many questions.
Viktor Pinchuk characterized the book:
A literary work created in the genre of a travel essay, chronologically sequentially, in detail and reliably describes the six-month route of a traveler-vagrant, which included ten African countries. The problematic and extreme situations with which “Holiday…” is replete, coupled with the description of the wretchedness of natives’ habitat, create a certain unique flavor, which the reader imbues with every page turned, involuntarily drawing a parallel between the unreal (for him) world of African wanderings and the surrounding reality, realizes the positive and all the delights of his existence, even if before he picked up this book, he thought otherwise.
