Description

Ferdynand Ossendowski's memoir of his extraordinary journey is a gripping account of adventure, politics, and mysticism. In 1911, Ossendowski found himself in the midst of a tumultuous period in Central Asia, where he joined the army of Baron Roman Ungern von Sternberg, a charismatic leader with a fascination for the Far East. This book is the result of his experiences during that time, and offers a unique perspective on the region's complex history and cultures. As a commanding officer in the baron's self-defense troops, Ossendowski witnessed firsthand the intrigue and politics of the time. His journey took him across vast distances, from the Chinese-controlled territories of Mongolia to the United States, where he eventually settled. Through his writing, Ossendowski shares his insights into the people, places, and events that shaped his life. Published in 1911, Beasts, Men and Gods is a fascinating and thought-provoking read, offering a glimpse into a fascinating period of history.
