In 'The Burning Edge' the writer Arthur Chichester takes the reader on a journey to the furthest edge of Belarus, Europe's least known country where he makes his way through towns and villages seemingly known only to those that continue to reside in them. On his journey through the irradiated borderlands he meets an assortment of characters struggling to make sense of a life in the shadows of the Chernobyl tragedy. At the end of his time in the region he decides to take one last journey off the map and walk alone through the irradiated forest on an adventure that will lead him through landscapes untouched and unseen since 1986. This is the first travel book to bring the region to a Western readership.

在《燃烧的边缘》中，作家阿瑟-奇切斯特将读者带到了欧洲最不为人知的国家白俄罗斯的最边缘，在那里他穿越了似乎只有继续居住在那里的人才知道的城镇和村庄。在他穿越被辐射的边境地区的旅程中，他遇到了各种各样的人物，他们在切尔诺贝利悲剧的阴影中挣扎着，试图使生活变得有意义。在他在该地区的时间结束时，他决定进行最后一次离开地图的旅行，独自走过被辐射的森林，进行一次冒险，这将带领他穿越自1986年以来未被触及和未被发现的风景。这是第一本将该地区带给西方读者的旅行书。
