Cesty na Sibiř

Wanting to become a "man with qualities", a young scientist abandons his career and his family life and heads east on a long and seemingly aimless journey through Siberia and the Russian Far East, in which he gradually discovers a hidden order. The novel works on several levels at once: as a travel book, as the story of a passionate love that is never fulfilled, as a record of how people live in post-Soviet Russia, and as a gallery of dozens of colourful life stories. Behind it all lies a search for the lost soul of the Far East's decimated native peoples and for spiritual certainty.
