"One of the most amazing, heroic stories of this or any other time."
--Chicago Tribune
"It is a book filled with the spirit of human dignity and the courage of men seeking
freedom."--Los Angeles Times
"Positively Homeric."--Times (London)
Twenty-six-year-old cavalry officer Slavomir Rawicz was captured by the Red Army
in 1939 during the German-Soviet partition of Poland and sent to the Siberian Gulag.
In the spring of 1941, he escaped with six of his fellow prisoners, including one
American. Thus began their astonishing trek to freedom.
With no map or compass but only an ax head, a homemade knife, and a week's supply
of food, the compatriots spent a year making their way on foot to British India, through
four thousand miles of the most forbidding terrain on earth. They braved the Himalayas,
the desolate Siberian tundra, icy rivers, and the great Gobi Desert, always a hair's
breadth from death. Finally arriving, Rawicz reenlisted in the Polish army to fight the
Germans.
Audio books, unlike ordinary books, are a lot more useful and time efficient in the long run. To sit down and read a book can be a very enjoyable experience but unfortunately only when time permits. A lot of us therefore find us putting aside the books for more pressing matters, with audio books however you can do both. Audio books give you the freedom to listen anywhere, just by simply putting it on a MP3 player. For most book fanatics space is a real issue and usually their houses end up looking like a library. Since audiobooks are portable and in music file format such as Mp3 or WMA the space that’s really being used up is your hard drive which takes up a minuscule amount in comparison. So for the busy individual where free time is somewhat of a luxury, audio books may just be the solution you have been looking for, a way to combine free time and work effortlessly. |
