Publisher's Synopsis
Tent Life In Siberia is a travelogue written by George Kennan, an American explorer and journalist, describing his adventures in Siberia and Kamtchatka in the late 19th century. The book is divided into two parts: the first part covers his experiences among the Koraks, an indigenous tribe living in the Kamtchatka Peninsula, while the second part details his travels across northern Asia, including encounters with various other tribes.Kennan's vivid descriptions of the harsh living conditions in Siberia, the customs and traditions of the indigenous people, and the natural beauty of the region make for a fascinating read. He also provides insights into the political and social situation in Siberia during the time, including the impact of Russian colonization on the local population.Throughout the book, Kennan shares his personal experiences and challenges as an outsider in these remote and often hostile environments. He also reflects on the impact of his travels on his own worldview and understanding of the world.Tent Life In Siberia is a classic travelogue that offers a unique perspective on a region that is still largely unknown to many readers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Siberia, indigenous cultures, and the history of exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
