As he becomes entrapped in the turmoil surrounding him, he narrowly escapes arrest by Bolshevik soldiers and escapes into the wilderness. There, he encounters various characters, including a mysterious traveler named Ivan, who guides him through the unforgiving terrain. The early chapters set the stage for a gripping tale of survival, marking a transition from a life of civilization to one woven with the struggles of nature and humanity, revealing the resilience required to navigate a world plagued by violence and uncertainty.
