Awesome movie and book

I just watched the movie. It is $2 on Amazon Prime. It is a very interesting story. Thanks for turning me on to it. The books are always better but I'm unlikely to read the book.

I have a berdan rifle, second model. One of these days I'm going to make up some loads for it.

I normally don’t have much time to watch movies but this thread convinced me to make time for the story of Dersu Uzala.

I am so glad I did, and now I want to read the book.

Edited to add: This story and all its lessons weighed on my mind so much, I ordered the book.

I will probably read it with a highlighter marker close at hand, so I don’t lose track of all the gems I am sure to find.

I treasure books like this. Judging from the Amazon reviews, it seems to be even better than the movie.

@Sourdough, this one is a must-see. It speaks to us and others who can relate...

I loved the artwork! It perfectly captured the spirit of the story so much that I will be making a bookmark using the artwork in the OP for my copy of the book.

Thank you, brother-mine, for yet another goodie!
