This is a raucous & brilliantly insane road trip of epic proportions, from the Booker Prize-winning author of Vernon God Little. DBC Pierre`s second novel charts the unlikely meeting between East & West that follows Ludmila Derev`s appearance on a Russian Brides website. Determined to save her family from starvation in the face of marauding troops, Ludmila`s journey into the world & womanhood is an odyssey of sour wit, even sourer vodka, & a Soviet tractor possibly running on goat`s piss. Meanwhile, thousands of miles to the West, the Heath twins are separated after 33 years conjoined at the abdomen. Released for the first time into the community, they are suddenly plunged into a round-the-clock world churning with opportunity, rowdy with the chatter of freedom, democracy, self-empowerment & sex. A wild picaresque dripping with flavours of British bacon & nasty Russian vodka, Ludmila`s Broken English is a tale of tangoing twins on a journey into the unknown. ...

The cartography provides an excellent picture of the terrain through contours at 25-metre intervals enhanced by shading, graphic relief for exposed rock, & colouring for glaciers & woodlands. All local footpaths are on the maps, but the overprint specifically highlights 33 trails selected by the publishers in collaboration with Geo-tracks.

The maps have the lines of the Swiss national grid at 1-km intervals. On the reverse each trail has a route profile, its grading according to severity of the terrain & the degree of fitness required to attempt it, details of length & approximate timing, the change in altitude on assent & descent, plus a brief description.
