Anastasia

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 encounter with a radiant recluse deep in the Siberian taiga. Her startling wisdom about love, child-rearing, and humanity’s bond with the earth has since turned this slim trade paperback into a quiet global phenomenon among seekers of mindful living and sustainable family life.

Megre’s narrative blends travel memoir, spiritual quest, and parenting guide, making the book a touchstone for readers interested in Russian mysticism, eco-spirituality, and conscious relationships. Non-fiction yet told with novelistic warmth, Anastasia invites young adults and adults alike to rethink city routines and remember life’s natural rhythms.

This 2008 English-language edition, 236 pages, arrives well-loved yet carefully kept: pages are crisp and unmarked, the binding tight, and no dog-ears or smoke damage intrude. Only faint top-edge spotting and a slight crease on two leaves hint at its journey to you—minor cosmetic notes that never interrupt the read.

A staple on any mind-body-spirit shelf, Anastasia makes an inspiring gift for anyone drawn to off-grid simplicity, ancestral wisdom, or holistic family practices. Add the volume that launched millions of readers toward planting their own “Space of Love” gardens.
