Great Soul of Siberia: Passion, Obsession, and One Man's Quest for the World's Most Elusive Tiger


By Sooyong Park


Foreword by John Vaillant



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.
