Through Siberia by Accident is a book about a journey that didn’t happen – and what happened instead. Dervla Murphy never had any intention of spending three months in the vast territories of Siberia.

Although hardly able to walk, her subsequent experiences, in an unexpected place, and in an incapacitated state, provided many pleasant surprises.

15-ти летней дочки не было дома. Мама заглянула в ее комнату и с замиранием сердца заметила письмо, оставленное дочкой на столе и адресованное ей. Трясущимися руками женщина взяла письмо и прочитала следующее:
Meet BLACKWATER USA, the world’s most secretive and powerful mercenary firm. Based in the wilderness of North Carolina, it is the fastest-growing private army on the planet with forces capable of carrying out regime change throughout the world. Blackwater protects the top US officials in Iraq and yet we know almost nothing about the firm’s quasi-military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and inside the US. Blackwater was founded by an extreme right-wing fundamentalist Christian mega-millionaire ex- Navy Seal named Erik Prince, the scion of a wealthy conservative family that bankrolls far-right-wing causes.
