In the Siberian forests

The book's overview is the story of Sylvain Tison, as he recorded it day by day, during his test of ascetic life for six months. A life that no son of Adam can bear in the long winter of southern Siberia, except for outlaws, fleeing justice to the justice of the harsh nature that shows no mercy. Escaping from the noisy city life, from people and routine commitments, was a test for Sylvain Tison, a longing to live in peace, freely, independently, accompanied by his books and papers. Inside the cabin he bought, he lives by candlelight, writes his feelings and impressions, and with a shot of vodka, silences the chills of the cold lodged in his ribs. Outside, he cuts wood for the stove and slides on the ice. Isolated from all living beings, this is what he wished, except for this pristine nature, with its towering forests standing arrogantly against the stormy winds, confronting the snow, and Lake Baikal frozen, the stillness of stone, and a majestic silence only disturbed by the tragedy of howling winds and the crashing snow. "I understood early on that I wouldn't be able to do much to change the world. So I decided to live alone for a while in a cabin in the Siberian forests. I tried to be happy, and I believe I succeeded in that." Book title: In the Siberian Forests Author: Sylvain Tison Translator: Lina Badr Number of pages: 314 Year of publication: 2021
