There are five races of tiger on our planet and all but one live in
tropical regions: the Siberian Tiger Panthera tigris altaica is the
exception. Mysterious and elusive, and with only 350 remaining in
the wild, the Siberian tiger remains a complete enigma. One man has
set out to change this. Sooyong Park has spent twenty years
tracking and observing these elusive tigers. Each year he spends
six months braving sub-zero temperatures, buried in grave-like
underground bunkers, fearlessly immersing himself in the lives of
Siberian tigers. As he watches the brutal, day-to-day struggle to
survive the harsh landscape, threatened by poachers and the
disappearance of the pristine habitat, Park becomes emotionally and
spiritually attached to these beautiful and deadly predators. No
one has ever been this close: as he comes face-to-face with one
tiger, Bloody Mary, her fierce determination to protect her cubs
nearly results in his own bloody demise. Poignant, poetic and
fiercely compassionate, The Great Soul of Siberia is the incredible
story of Park's unique obsession with these compelling creatures on
the very brink of extinction, and his dangerous quest to seek them
out to observe and study them. Eloquently told in Park's
distinctive voice, it is a personal account of one of the most
extraordinary wildlife studies ever undertaken.
