Yuan Xing Translation Series: in the Siberian Forest
About This Novel
French explorer Sylvain Tison once promised to live a secluded life deep in the forest before he was forty years old. So he lived for six months in a Siberian cabin on the northern Cape of Cedar on the shores of Lake Baikal. The nearest village is a hundred and twenty kilometers away, with no neighbors and the occasional strange visitor. In winter, the temperature drops to minus 30 degrees Celsius; in summer, bears appear on the steep slopes of the lake shore. He brought books, cigars and vodka, and created a simple and beautiful life in this wilderness. Time was reduced to a few simple actions: facing the lake and forest, watching the days go by; chopping wood, fishing, cooking; reading a lot; walking in the mountains; drinking vodka in front of the window.
