Here is a Siberia unheard of in the West. Once the most remote place of exile in all of Russia, Mowat describes it as a burgeoning land of opportunity and growth. Granted extraordinary freedom to visit places rarely seen by any westerner since 1917, Farley Mowat and his wife, Claire, travelled more than 29,000 miles over mountains, steppes, taiga and tundra to meet the people who have chosen to make Siberia their home and livelihood. With his classic exuberance and wit, Mowat brings to life a place and a people who share the top of the world with us – their hopes and aspirations, their humour, and their dedication to the dramatic awakening of Sibir, the Sleeping land.… (meer)

Farley made 2 trips to Siberia. Read. More like a novel than reality.

Farley Mowat is just one of my favorite writers- it's a good solid read and a window into a time when Russian and US relations were at the tipping point. (

I agree completely with the other reviewers. Book is a piece of junk. The USSR had taken note of his writings about how badly the indigenous people of Canada were, and are, treated. They figured that they could butter him up and make a propaganda coup. Worked like a charm.

Some of his work is great. Some pedestrian. And some really dumb. Pay attention.

Mowat writes about his two journeys to parts of Siberian in the late 1960's. He meets interesting people who seem to think that the USSR is a paradise on earth. Everything is better there than in the West and Mowat doesn't even try to be critical of their claims. (

2032 The Siberians, by Farley Mowat (read 22 Nov 1986) This is a 1970 book. What a cropper! It tells of two trips of Mowat to Siberia, where he found everything and everybody perfect, and becoming more perfect all the time. The temperature is never less than 10 below--usually 40 below--and everybody is ebullient and all is paradise. He sounded--all the way through the book!--like a Communist tour guide. Ugh. (
