"EPUB Escaping the Ice-Prison: From City to Steppe in Mongolia
Escaping the Ice-Prison details the four months spent by the author, Paul Bacon, in the frozen wilderness of Mongolia. It reaches deep into the heart of one of the world's most mysterious yet fascinating countries. In the course of his work as a journalist for Mongolia's only independent English language newspaper, Bacon develops an intimate knowledge of the country and offers a unique insight. His work takes in fundamental problems affecting the country, such as the hang-over from the Soviet era, homeless street-children and human-trafficking. This is juxtaposed wonderfully with some far lighter experiences, such as hanging out with Mongolian rock legends and playing soccer in the national championships.Paul Bacon has lived across Asia and has written for magazines in China and Japan. He was also nominated for the 2010 IgoUgo Travel Writer of the Year Award
