About the book: 1930 / V. Shklovsky's book "Turksib" tells about one of the main construction projects of the first five-year plan of the USSR - the Turkestan-Siberian Railway - a railway built in 1926– 1931, which connected Central Asia with Siberia. It is explained very clearly to children what the advantages of cotton are over flax, how they looked for the route for the highway and under what conditions construction was taking place. The photographs presented in the book not only enliven and concretize the text, but also structure it, give the entire book a clear and rapid rhythm.
