Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
The beautiful wild region known as the Russian Far East curves south along the Sea of Japan like a great claw of Siberia, from the vast delta of the Amur River to the North Korean border, and its coast range-the Sikhote-Alin-extending southward some 600 miles between the Ussuri River and the sea is the last redoubt of Panthera tigris altaica, the Siberian or Manchurian tiger, which ranged formerly throughout northeastern China (or Manchuria) and the Korean peninsula, and west as far as Mongolia and Lake Baikal. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Passionate, beautiful, sad, 13 Jun 2004
By ILONACAT (WIRRAL, ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I am always on the lookout for books about tigers and other big cats.For me, they are the embodiment of beauty and power and magnificence, and to find a book that does justice to this is a great pleasure. TIGERS IN THE SNOW is such a book. Peter Matthiessen brings passion to every book he writes-nothing is churned out, the subject is thoroughly researched AND experienced.In this book, we read of his encounters with the tiger in the Russian Far East, where tigers are honoured by the indigenous Udege people and hunted for their pelts and body parts by almost everybody else.Times are hard since the fall of the Soviet Union, and a freshly-killed tiger pays well.This could be a despairing book were it not for the committed tiger conservationists Matthiessen encounters in his travels, people who for very little financial reward campaign tirelessly for the well-being of this magnificent animal.

If you don't feel like reading all of the text-it IS dense in places-feast your eyes on the photographs.They are wonderful. Enjoy.
