Book excerpt: Excerpt from Siberia and the Exile System, Vol. 1 Siberia and the exile system published in The Century Magazine have been based apparently upon the assumption that a survey of any one particular department of national life must necessarily be incomplete and misleading, and that the fair-minded investigator should supplement it by taking into the field of vision a quantity of unrelated facts and phenomena from a dozen other departments.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Siberia Notwithstanding the fact that the world is now passing through a phase of eager geographical exploration and dis covery to which no period - not even the Elizabethan affords a parallel, there are still countries whither the traveller, be he naturalist, geographer, or sportsman, but rarely directs his steps. Siberia is one of them. The map of Africa is becoming almost as crowded with place-names as that of France, and we are steadily filling in the Arctic and even the Antarctic coast-lines, but the Land of the Tundra remains almost as unknown to Englishmen as it was in the days of Cochrane, when, eighty years ago, he set him self the astounding task of walking, baggageless and alone, from Dieppe to Kamschatka. The Treaty of Nertchinsk is a couple of centuries old, and the Russian conquerors had reached the furthest limits of the vast land even earlier, but no one now thinks of following in their footsteps.

We do not change our natures much in spite of a veneer of culture, and it is only the story of the cave-dwellers and the scratchings on the reindeer bone, told over again under easier conditions with the rifle and the camera.

This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Stand of the Old Siberia His brief narrative of The Last Stand Tof the Old Siberia is based on observa tions made during a geological and geograph ical reconnaissance by the author through Siberia in 1901, just after the Boxer war in China and adjoining parts of Siberia. The reason that the narrative was not published many years ago is that the region was still the old-time Siberia, for the Great Siberian Rail way was only partly completed and had not yet materially changed the people or their conditions. This old-time Siberia had been much described, much discussed, and more often than not, much and unjustly abused; enough had been said about it for that time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the Die-Hards in Siberia Originally written for the private use of my sons in case I did not return, this narrative of events. Connected with the expedition to Siberia must of necessity lack many of the necessary ele ments which go to make a history. I wrote of things as they occurred, and recorded the reasons and motives which prompted the participants. Many things have happened since which seem to show that we were not always right in our esti mate of the forces at work around us. Things are not always what they seem, and this is probably more evident in the domain of Russian affairs than in any other. It would be comparatively easy to alter the text, and square it with the results, but that would destroy the main value of the story. The Statesman and the Soldier rarely write his tory. It is their misfortune to make it. It is quite easy to be a prophet when you know the result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Story of a Siberian Exile Classic Reprint written by Rufin Piotrowski and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of a Siberian Exile Here is an expression in use in Poland which surpasses all that human eloquence has ever em ployed to give intensity to despair; it consists of the words 'we never meet again? And thus it is that any political exile, when about to depart for Siberia, takes leave of his family and of his friends; we nete'r meet again! For the only way in which an exile could find himself once more among those whom he loves would be for him to meet them in the same place of torment. The conviction is deep that they who are once transported to those regions of pain can quit them no more; that Siberia never relinquishes her prey. For nearly a century she has torn from Poland her most devoted women, her most generous sons. Back to those realms of snow and of blood fly the thoughts of every Pole who inquires into the past fortunes of his B.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Siberia and Central Asia This book is the result of a trip through Si beria and Central Asia, made by the author dur ing the summer and autumn of last year. It con sists mostly of letters written by him while on the journey, which were published by several Western newspapers. Owing to the great and increasing importance of the Eastern Question, the author has thought that it might be of interest to his friends to have these letters put into a more permanent form, illustrated by many views taken by him at that time. These views in themselves may, perhaps, be his best excuse for the book, as they give a better and clearer idea of these great regions than any words of his can convey.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in Siberia, Vol. 1 of 2 All the dates have been set down in conformity with the old calendar, because this is exclusively used throughout the Russian empire. But wherever it has appeared especially necessary to avoid error, atten tion has been called to the difference between the old and the new style. For the same reason, it has been thought advisable to use the thermometer graduated according to the scale of Reaumur, and in matters of importance to refer to the difference between this scale and that of Fahrenheit, which is in use among ourselves.

We had a pleasant chat of ten minutes with regard to the roads, the weather, our Siberian experiences, the changed appearance of Irkutsk, etc., and then Captain makofski said: I understand that you are interested, among other things, in prisons and the exile system. I think you will find the city prison here in good condition. I will send some one to show you through it, and I will not forewarn the prison officers that you are coming - you Shall see it just as it is every day.
