| Summary | "Beasts, Men and Gods" by Ferdinand Antoni Ossendowski is a thrilling account woven from the author's personal experiences, written during the early 20th century amidst the chaos of post-revolutionary Russia. The narrative blends adventure, survival, and philosophical inquiries, as it delves into the depths of human nature, political upheaval, and the mysteries of existence, particularly in the intricate and treacherous landscapes of Siberia and Central Asia. The opening of the book introduces us to the author, who finds himself in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, at the onset of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1920. 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.
