  In the Eye of the Wild begins with an account of the French anthropologist Nastassja Martin's near fatal run-in with a Kamchatka bear in the mountains of Siberia. Martin's professional interest is animism; she addresses philosophical questions about the relation of humankind to nature, and in her work she seeks to partake as fully as she can in the lives of the indigenous peoples she studies. Her violent encounter with the bear, however, brings her face-to-face with something entirely beyond her ken—the untamed, the nonhuman, the animal, the wild. A change takes place that she must somehow reckon with. 
   
   
   
  Left severely mutilated, dazed with pain, Martin undergoes multiple operations in a provincial Russian hospital, while also being grilled by the secret police. Back in France, she finds herself back on the operating table, a source of new trauma. She realizes that the only thing for her to do is to return to Kamchatka. She must discover what it means to have become, as the Even people call it, medka, a person who is half human, half bear. 
   
   
   
  In the Eye of the Wild is a fascinating, mind-altering book about terror, pain, endurance, and self-transformation, comparable in its intensity of perception and originality of style to J. A. Baker's classic The Peregrine. Here Nastassja Martin takes us to the farthest limits of human being.

  Trump: Modern Shaman - An Unparalleled Analysis of America's Most Controversial Leader 
  Trump didn't just break America's political rules - he revealed them as illusions. This is an outsider's discovery of how an unlikely shaman transformed the world's most powerful nation. 
  Trump follows ancient patterns of leadership that modern politics has forgotten. Through raw charisma and intuitive genius, he tapped into psychological forces that reshaped America's soul. This analysis reveals why millions found his message irresistible—and why his critics still don't understand what hit them. 
  Written by a non-American observer free from Washington's tribal warfare, this work examines how the deeply flawed Trump could be the very hero America needs in its darkest hour. 
  Note: This book offers a clear-eyed view of both his strengths and limitations but is ultimately strangely pro-Trump.
