About the book: 1971 / The author of these fascinating essays, Moscow State University professor N. N. Sushkina, shares her impressions of Guinea, where she was invited to lecturing at the Polytechnic Institute. A biologist by profession and a keen naturalist-researcher, the author naturally pays the greatest attention to describing the nature and geographical features of the country. However, interesting everyday details of the life of the population and the architecture of cities and villages do not escape her attentive gaze. The author's original photographs complement the lively, imaginative description of the country.
