Kamchatka guide from the famous nature photographer Igor Shilenok. His book is the result of a long four-year photography trip dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Russian nature conservation system. Once, Igor visited 50 reserves and national parks and captured nature without embellishment. The shores of the Bering and Okhotsk Seas, the volcanic plateau of Kamchatka, Primorye, the Amur Region, Baikal, Siberia, the Southern and Northern Urals fell into the lens of the White Sea.
The result of the work is three large volumes containing photographs and comments of the author. The book we recommend is dedicated to the extraordinary beauty of Kamchatka. Igor’s style is quite pleasant – it is easy to read his stories and imagine yourself in these places. Or not just dream, but prepare for a great journey.

The well-known journalist and writer Mark Grigoryan shows the reader a completely unfamiliar, but very close to him Yerevan. The story about his beloved city is accompanied by photos from his personal archive – you can see his friends and colleagues on them.
Here is what the author had to say about his book: “Yerevan is a city with many stories. There is much more to Scheherazade than she can tell in her over two years of vigil. They suit every taste: about talent and mediocrity, about love and devotion, about wealth and poverty, about art and gray working days. Over the centuries, many typical Yerevan stories have accumulated, and of course, there is more than can be described in a book. Moreover, this is not a biography of the capital of Armenia and a retelling of its stories, although there are many stories: you cannot talk about the city as if it existed without people.”
