As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me: The Extraordinary… por Josef M. Bauer
This well-written story tells of one German soldier’s escape from a Siberian labor camp and his cross county trek to return home. It has excellent detail, pacing, and descriptions of the landscape and people encountered.
Account of the incredible escape of Clemens Forrell, (pseudonym) a German Officer captured by the Russians and sent to Siberia. A 3 year journey of epic endurance.
Josef Martin Bauer's "As far as my feet will carry me" is the extraordinary true story of a German prisoner of war who is sentenced to work in a lead mine in Siberia. The prisoner, dubbed "Clemens Forell" manages to escape and embarks on a three-year trek across the Russian landscape while attempting to reach his home.
The story is pretty amazing. I had a difficult time with the writing, which is best described as stilted. Despite being a short book, it took me ages to read it... the author is so detached from the story that it makes the book difficult to read. I perhaps would have liked it better if it were written in the first person.
This book is very similar to Slavomir Rawicz's "The Long Walk" which I've read many times. While veracity of Rawicz's book has long been questioned (and with good reason, I think,) Bauer's book comes with a greater ring of truth to it.… (más)

If you like to feel the book as you read; if you like an impossible adventure; if you like to see total despair and heartbreak turn into triumph and celebration then this is definitly the book for you
