21 of 21 people found the following review helpful. surprisingly modern, and full of interesting details By Daniel Mackler i picked this book up from a homeless bookseller in manhattan for a dollar, figuring it might be worth a try. and it was - i read the whole thing!it's major pluses: it's written in a surprisingly modern style. i've read other travelogues of the time period, like melville's omoo and typee and others, and this one was FAR better. perhaps it's that the author is not pompous or trying too hard to be "literary." he tries a little bit, but mostly he just sticks to the facts and tells the story. and the story on its own is interesting enough - travelling all around eastern siberia with wandering natives on dogsleds and reindeer sleds, living in yurts and eating funky foods, starving at times, camping under snowdrifts at fifty below zero, and mostly just observing and interacting with native peoples who (i have a strange feelings) may not even exist any more. and all this set in the backdrop of such an interesting time period in our history - just after the U.S. Civil War.other point of food for thought: the guy did his travels at AGE TWENTY!!!, and wrote and published the entire book by age 25! this strikes me as quite odd, because his whole style is...so mature...and intellectual. you'd think you're reading a book by a forty year old (at least). and to this that seven years before he travelled to siberia...he was just thirteen.anyway, all in all a good and interesting book, good in a way for light historical reading, but nothing to shock your boots off...
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Wayne in Vermont By Wayne D. Davies This is a marvelous book. Kennan's style is honest, unadorned and surprisingly contemporary for a book written 140 years ago. Kennan also displays a wonderful sense of humor. In the current age where so many adventure writers are professional adventurer seekers, it is refreshing to read a book by an author who found genuine, uncontrived adventure in the course of doing a difficult job in a place unknown to Westerners. As an avid reader of adventure and travel writing, Tent Life in Siberia ranks as one of the better reads and biggest surprises I've encountered.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Tent Life in Siberia (Illustrated) By Sandy This is one of the best books I've ever read. There were several versions of the book on offer, and at first I chose the wrong one. Be sure you get the Illustrated version! I didn't know there were any illustrations until I got to the end, and there were the captions for pictures, but no pix! I actually bought the book again to get the one with photos. The author, George Kennan, explores Siberia while it was still tribal. He witnessed the famous Aurora Borealis of 1867 and describes it in stunning detail. The best part about the book is that it is hilarious. Kennan had a sense of humor that never quits.
