Consolations of the Forest Stockists

In Consolations of the Forest" Sylvain Tesson explains how he found a radical solution to his need for freedom one as ancient as the experiences of the hermits of old Russia: he decided to lock himself alone in a cabin in the middle taiga on the shores of Baikal for six months. From February to July 2010 he lived in silence solitude and cold. His cabin built by Soviet geologists in the Brezhnev years is a cube of logs three meters by three meters heated by a cast iron skillet six-day walk from the nearest village and hundreds of miles of track. To live isolated from the world while retaining one's sanity requires a routine Tesson discovered. In the morning he would read write smoke or draw and then devoted hours to cutting the wood shoveling snow and fishing. Emotionally these months proved a challenge and the loneliness was crippling. Tesson found in paper a valuable confidant the notebook a polite companion. Noting carefully almost daily his impressions of the silence his struggles to survive in a hostile nature his despair his doubts but also its moments of ecstasy inner peace and harmony with nature Sylvain Tesson shares with us an extraordinary experience. Writer journalist and traveler Sylvain Tesson was born in 1972. After a world tour by bicycle he developed a passion for Central Asia and has travelled tirelessly since 1997.
