'Beasts, Men and Gods' Summary
The book chronicles Ossendowski's harrowing escape from the Bolshevik Revolution in Siberia. Faced with the threat of execution, he embarks on a perilous journey through the vast and unforgiving landscapes of Siberia, Mongolia, and China, accompanied by a small group of fellow escapees. The journey is fraught with danger, marked by close calls with death, encounters with hostile groups, and encounters with the mysterious and mystical aspects of the region. Ossendowski's encounters with Buddhism and its influence on the local people play a crucial role in his survival, as do his negotiations with opposing forces. He navigates the treacherous terrain, facing starvation, disease, and constant threats from both men and nature. Throughout his journey, Ossendowski relies on his wit, resourcefulness, and the unexpected kindness of individuals he encounters along the way. Ultimately, his journey becomes a testament to human resilience and the enduring power of faith and hope, even in the face of overwhelming odds.Book Details
