About the book: 2020 / A. V. Eliseev (1858–1895) - Russian military doctor and traveler who visited Scandinavia, the north of Russia, the Middle and the Far East, Asia Minor and many African countries and described his travels in fascinating essays. Eliseev’s posthumously published illustrated “anthropological essay” “Pictures of Prehistoric Human Life” combines artistic storytelling with a popular science story about the life of primitive people. The book is accompanied by a memoir essay by D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak.
