----------------------------------------

October 1812, Napoleon enters Moscow. The Russians have set fire to the city, soon it will be reduced to a pile of ash. The Emperor equivocates, decides to turn back. This is the beginning of the retreat from Russia, a page of history that has become legendary for its degree of suffering and horror, but also for the heroic acts that took place.Two hundred years later, Sylvain Tesson, accompanied by four friends (two Russians and two French), decides to follow the route of the retreat. Perched on two Soviet Ural sidecar motorcycles, they will rejoin Paris from Moscow, guided only by the spectres of the two hundred thousand solrs who died through cold, starvation, and in battle. Twenty five hundred miles travelled in a wild escapade to salute the ghosts of history, across the white plains of Russia.

Moscow to Paris in a sidecar: an epic, crazy 2,500 mile road trip following Napoleon’s retreat

Review Quote

“From beginning to end, the story of Berezina is enthralling, funny, and terrifying. At the same time, it is magnificently written.”

Review Quote

“Sylvain Tesson’s most important book.”

Review Quote

“Tesson’s latest book is probably his best [ . . . ] his style, which has reached maturity, is up to capturing the horror of the period, full of blood and drama, but also of humour, alcohol (vodka only) . . . You feel Tesson is in his element.”

Review Quote

“A hermit's vodka-tossed praise-poem to retreat and solitude.” (on The Consolations of the Forest)

Review Quote

“There's humour and humanity here, but also a serious attempt to answer the question, how should a person live?” (on The Consolations of the Forest)

Review Quote

“Written with great charm and beauty, and humour…” (on The Consolations of the Forest)
