Philosophy & Religion Spirituality & New Age Psychology & Self-Help
Anastasia by Vladimir Megre opens The Ringing Cedars Series with a lyrical account of the author’s 1995 journey into the Siberian taiga, where he meets a radiant recluse whose wisdom re-sets his view of family, nature and the human spirit. Part travel memoir, part spiritual love story, this modern classic weaves mysticism, eco-psychology and practical parenting into a narrative that has sold millions worldwide.
Megre’s clean, conversational prose carries readers through ideas about ancestral homesteads, conscious conception and the living energy of cedar trees, all while charting the tender bond between a skeptical entrepreneur and the enigmatic woman who calls herself Anastasia. The result is a genre-blending guide that belongs on shelves devoted to mind-body spirit, personal development and Russian contemporary life.
This 2008 English trade paperback is in good used condition: pages are crisp and unmarked, the binding is tight, and the volume comes from a smoke-free home. Light staining on the top edge and a faint crease on two pages are the only signs of its previous life, making it a sturdy reading copy for first-time explorers or collectors completing the series.
