The story evoked a memory of the movie Dersu Uzala by Akira Kurosawa. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dersu_Uzala_(1975_film) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dersu_Uzala_(1975_film) I had read about the film several years ago. Not seen it. The part that stayed with me the most was when Dersu expresses his surprise to Arsenyev that people in cities actually have to pay for water.
