Description

Wacław Leopoldowicz Sieroszewski spent 12 years in Yakutia as a political exile. Fate cast this young Varsovian, who had barely come of age, into the most remote and isolated corners of Siberia. Yet nothing could extinguish in him the inquisitiveness of the future well-known scholar and writer. Living side by side with the Yakuts, speaking to them in their own language, and engaging in crafts and agriculture, V.L. Sieroszewski managed to gather an enormous body of factual material, which formed the basis of his book. V.L. Sieroszewski's work "The Yakuts," first published in St. Petersburg in 1896, remains to this day the most complete and valuable monograph on the Yakuts.
