Albert László from page images generously made available by the Kujawsko-Pomorska Digital Library "Állatok, emberek és istenek" (Beasts, Men and Gods) by Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's extraordinary escape from revolutionary Russia through Siberia, Mongolia, and Tibet, offering a unique perspective on political upheaval, cultural encounters, and personal survival in times of chaos. It centers on Ossendowski’s perilous journey as he flees the Bolsheviks, highlighting both the harsh realities of the landscape and the people—friends, enemies, and mysterious strangers—he encounters along the way. The opening of the book introduces us to Ossendowski’s life in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia during the Russian Revolution, where immediate danger forces him to flee into the Siberian wilderness. He describes his desperate escape from Bolshevik soldiers, surviving in the taiga with the help of an enigmatic companion named Ivan. Through encounters with danger, harsh weather, wild animals, and strangers whose motivations are unclear, Ossendowski adapts to a solitary life in nature, punctuated by reflections on both human brutality and resilience. His journey shifts from basic survival—hunting, fishing, building shelter—to navigating war-torn lands, passing through hostile villages and negotiating with suspicious officials. The narrative paints a vivid picture of both the daunting landscapes and the constant threat of violence, setting the stage for a larger exploration of the intersection between civilization, wilderness, and the human spirit.
