From President to Prison
In this historic novel, author Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski gives his account of his personal experiences during the Russo Japanese War and in the Revolution of 1905, as it affected the Far East. The book offers one of the most intimate pictures of life in the dreaded Russian prisons of Siberia and Manchuria that has ever been drawn to the western world, by one who has himself lived through the regime of these institutions.
Beasts, Men and Gods
Antoni Ferdynand Ossendowski (27 May 1876 - 3 January 1945) was a Polish writer, explorer, university professor, member of the French Academy, and anti-Communist political activist. He is best known for his books about Lenin and the Russian Civil War, a war in which he participated. In 1907 he was released from prison with a so-called wolf ticket, which prevented him from finding a job or leaving Russia. At that time he devoted himself to writing. His novel V ludskoi pyli (In Human Dust), in which he described his several-years-long stay in Russian prisons, gained him much popularity in Russia and was even described by Leo Tolstoy as one of his favorites. The popularity allowed him to return to St Petersburg in 1908. There he continued to write books and at the same time headed the Society of the Gold and Platinum Industry and several newspapers and journals, both in Russian and in Polish. After the outbreak of World War I, Ossendowski published several more books, including a science fiction novel, a propaganda novel on German spies in Russia and a brochure describing German and Austro-Hungarian war crimes.

Beasts, Men and Gods
Dr. Ossendowski is a man of long and diverse experience as a scientist and writer with a training for careful observation which should put the stamp of accuracy and reliability on his chronicle. Only the extraordinary events of these extraordinary times could have thrown one with so many talents back into the surroundings of the "Cave Man" and thus given to us this unusual account of personal adventure, of great human mysteries and of the political and religious motives which are energizing the "Heart of Asia."

The Shadow of the Gloomy East
"The Shadow of the Gloomy East" is the memoir of Polish writer, university professor, and anticommunist political activist Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski. He states that, "My sketches of the "Shadow of the Gloomy East" are an attempt to lay bare before the civilised world the true face of the Russian people, which must be enlightened, converted to Christianity, to European culture, strengthened in true morality, and then, only then, admitted as an equal to the great comity of nations which aims at perfection, spiritual beauty and strength."
