Each person makes all kinds of contribution to the history of his country. But there are people who stand apart in the national gallery of heroes. It is precisely to such outstanding personalities - Russian pioneers, navigators, military leaders, travelers - the series of the Historical Comics is dedicated to.
The first book of the series - about Vitus Bering, the officer of the Russian fleet and the sailor - invented, wrote and painted Vladislav Serov, an artist and sculptor from St. Petersburg.
Having studied a huge amount of historical materials, he created a realistic, exciting graphic novel, in which both content and drawing are equally strong and equally complement each other. It turned out a perfectly drawn multilayer narrative about bright heroes and ordinary people, piercing loneliness and joy of discoveries. This is not just an understandable colorful presentation of a great event, but a full -fledged study and useful addition to school textbooks of history and geography.
What is the book about?
Vitus Bering led the Great Northern Expedition, as a result of which navigation maps of the northern and eastern coast of Russia were compiled, the paths to America and Japan were explored, many islands were opened, the nature and life of the local population were described.
Bering himself reached the shores of America on the packetball "St. Peter". This voyage has become a real feat of Russian sailors. The set goals were achieved, but it was necessary to pay for discoveries with a high price - human lives, including the life of the captain -commander of Vitus Bering.
Thanks to Russian sailors, modern Russia has become a great power. And the colossal heritage of the Great Northern Expedition has been in demand so far
