Albanov’s diary he read “to the south, to the land of Franz Joseph.” Since then, the mysterious and mysterious Arctic, and its heroes-polar people as a magnet pulled him to them. And he with an expedition on a scientific vessel “Perseus” goes to the shores of Spitsbergen. The Arctic met the writer with a lot of trials, therefore, so personally, clearly, expressively, he represents the action of the book, reveals the meaning of the word “Zavolochye” unknown for most readers.
