Eastern Siberia - a river - immeasurable taiga forests - lost within them is a small village. No roads, no train, and no telephone connections. For several years now, the author Karin Hass has been living there with her husband, the fur trapper Slawa from the Evenki people. After her first book "Strange Homeland Siberia" became a great success, she now offers deep insights into the real life in rural Siberia in "Bear Fat with Pepper." The entertainingly narrated events are shaped by the extreme climate, self-sufficiency from nature, great contentment, cheerful as well as tragic occurrences within the village community, and not least, an unusual love.
