Das weiße Land der Seele

Synopsis of Das weiße Land der Seele

«Das weiße Land der Seele» is the novel by Olga Kharitidi, published by Lübbe in paperback (315 pages, in German).

In the 1990s, Russian psychiatrist Olga Kharitidi leaves her clinic in Novosibirsk to accompany her sick friend to the Altai, where she meets the shaman Umaj. Umaj's teachings question everything the young scientist thought she knew and immerse her in an ancestral knowledge that she must reconcile with her life.

The 1998 German edition, translated by Sabine Schulte, corresponds to the original work Entering the Circle (1996).

Will appeal to readers of spirituality, shamanism, and psychology, as well as those seeking stories with a Siberian atmosphere.
