Ossendowski fled the Bolsheviks in 1920 and spent a year crossing Siberia and Mongolia by whatever means he could: frozen rivers and bandit country, Buddhist monasteries, and an extended encounter with the murderous Baron Ungern-Sternberg. It is part escape narrative, part occult travelogue, and utterly gripping.
One of the strangest and most thrilling escape narratives ever written. Download the free EPUB.
