Produktbeschreibung

A wild swimmer uncovers pollution and corruption in Siberia. Exposure threatens her life and liberty

Young environmentalist and wild swimmer, Seville Campbell, swims in rivers, lakes, and the sea to control her anxiety about the environment. While studying pollution in Russia, a chance encounter alerts her to the possibility of a British company manufacturing chemical weapons. She joins the community of Russian wild swimmers when she undertakes a perilous journey to the bleak, polluted Siberian closed city of Norilsk. What she learns there puts her in direct conflict with her billionaire businessman father, Ross Campbell, whose smiling exterior conceals a ruthless determination to buy power at any cost. As Seville gradually becomes aware of her father's involvement, she realises her freedom is under threat. To what lengths will he go to silence his daughter? Can Seville expose the polluters or will her powerful father prevent her?

The Man Who Bought the World is the first book in the four part Swimmer's Almanac series, an engrossing environmental thriller that takes the reader on a daunting journey through dark places in Russia to the Highlands of Scotland. Author and swimmer, Fiona Lamont, explores swimming in wild places as a path to sanity in a world that appears out of control. Read on today and discover how Seville's journey ends.

Autorenporträt

Reading is one of the great pleasures in my life, allowing me to explore many places that sadly I will probably never visit. Researching information for my books is also a pleasure, a constant voyage of discovery. I am interested in environmental matters, especially anything relating to water. One would think access to clean drinking water should be a basic human right, yet in most places it is not, including many rich countries.

As you may guess from this story, wild swimming is another interest of mine. This book was inspired by wild swimmers and the photography of Elena Chernyshova. Elena's atmospheric photos of Norilsk are quite beautiful, even though the images are disturbing. Her images in Days of Night/Nights of Days are well worth taking a look at.
