Book excerpt: ”Escape from Siberia” is a story set in contemporary Russia at the time of the unsuccessful attempt to remove Gorbachev from power by the reactionary forces against glasnost and perestroika. The novel’s main characters are an American geologist, a beautiful Russian woman and a Russian Colonel. The main plot consists of a relentless pursuit of the American and Russian woman through the Far Eastern tundra and taiga, as well as the western part of the Soviet Union by the jealous and possessive colonel. Their mode of transportation involves boat, truck, a reindeer team, skis, and finally a train. On their way the American and the woman encounter adventures with wolves, bears, and ferocious Siberian blizzards. The couple also meets many helpful and generous people while the American is being introduced to Russian customs, folk music and native foods. As far as their own relationship is concerned, they were attracted to each other from the day they met. Bound by fate and peril, a deep love develops between them that endures and conquers all hardships, until...?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1955, this must be one of the most dramatic adventures of our time. Clemens Forell, a German soldier, was sentenced to 25 years of forced labour in a Siberian lead mine after the Second World War. Rebelling against the brutality of the camp, Forell staged a daring escape, enduring an 8000-mile journey across the trackless wastes of Siberia, in some of the most treacherous and inhospitable conditions on earth. Bauer's writing brilliantly evokes Forell's desperation in the prison camp, and his struggle for survival and terror of recapture as he makes his way towards the Persian frontier and freedom.

Book excerpt: A captivating tale - and extremely well written' - Le Figaro litteraire'A staggering testimony' - Livres HebdoNerve-wrecking' - Le Monde'A spectacular story' - L'Obs'An utterly chilling tale' - France InterYoann Barbereau was a promising official at the head of the Alliance Fran aise in Irkutsk, in Siberia, when he was imprisoned on charges of a crime he had not committed. The FSB, heir to the KGB, created a set of false evidence to incriminate him and confine him to 15 years in a Siberian prison camp. After months of abuse and deception by the authorities, he decided to end the injustice on his own account: he would escape from Russia.Escape from Siberia is the gripping tale of a flight from the depths of an icy continent, telling the epic story of how an innocent man escaped from the clutches of injustice. In a cinematic and action-packed account, Barbereau recounts his mind-boggling trek across a forest border guarded by ferocious dogs and gunmen to cross the border and reach Europe. This is an enthralling - and terrifying - account of a rogue state in action and how one man escaped the nightmare.
