Great Soul of Siberia: Passion, Obsession, and One Man's Quest for the World's Most Elusive Tiger
Great Soul of Siberia: Passion, Obsession, and One Man's Quest for the World's Most Elusive Tiger | John Vaillant, Park Sooyong, Sooyong Park
5 posts | 6 to read
In "The Great Soul of Siberia, " renowned tiger researcher Sooyong Park tracks three generations of Siberian tigers living in remote southeastern Russia. Reminiscent of the way Timothy Treadwell (the so-called Grizzly Man) immersed himself in the lives of bears, Park sets up underground bunkers to observe the tigers, living thrillingly close to these beautiful but dangerous apex predators. At the same time, he draws from twenty years of experience and research to focus on the Siberian tigers losing battle against poaching and diminishing habitat. Over the two years of his harrowing stakeout, Park s poignant and poetic observations of the tigers draw a fiercely compassionate portrait of these elusive, endangered creatures."

#TBRtemptation post 2! This may be a hidden gem that few know about since it has a 4.45 GR rating. Take Kon-Tiki and put it on the Siberian steppe. Alone, obsessed with a goal, facing nature's savagery, Park takes us on his journey to gather documentary film footage of the world's most reclusive and least known tiger. Following the generations of a big-cat family, Park gains insights extremely valuable to scientists. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

It amazes me the patience and stillness this man must have! To live for months in a bunker 2m x 2m X 1.8m. It also makes me wonder what books I'd bring. You?

Hungary suffered a crushing loss in the soccer today. This is my consolation.
