In the human and forest wilderness is a travel book. The author's scientific expeditions here are only a pretext for , "a real journey - one where the world is seen through the eyes of an inquisitive, curious and, above all, sensitive man, and one wanders among the magnificent, lush nature of Russia and China of the early twentieth century and among the people living there. The author has the opportunity to observe, among other things, funeral rites, wolf and tarantula hunting and the life of exiles in Sakhalin, and even takes an active part in all this.
