Product Details
- Describes the fifty-year struggle for survival and religious freedom of the Lykov family, members of the Old Believers persuasion, a Russian Orthodox sect dating back to the mid-17th century.
- The family lived in isolation in the Siberian taiga but was discovered by geologists in 1978, with only two surviving members by 1982.
- The book chronicles the family's adaptation to the modern world after years of self-sufficiency and their resistance to materialistic society.
- The story presents a poignant drama of the family's interactions with the outside world and their determination to maintain their traditional way of life despite tempting conveniences.
- The author provides an insight into the family's wilderness survival, faith-guided lives, and their refusal to leave the taiga despite international interest and assistance.
- The book has been well-received in France and film rights have been purchased, making it recommended for libraries with Soviet/Russian collections and public libraries.

History Editorial Review
Lost in the Taiga tells the remarkable true story of the Lykov family, who fled the Russian Orthodox Church and Soviet Communists and spent 50 years living in isolation in the Siberian wilderness. Despite the intriguing subject matter, some reviewers found the English translation to be convoluted and awkward at times, with errors that could be confusing. Nonetheless, many praised the book as well-written, fascinating, and informative, with a good balance between personal narrative and sociological analysis. The book is a remarkable testament to the human spirit and the lengths people will go to follow their beliefs, but potential readers should keep in mind the challenges of the translation.
