"Anastasia", the first book of the Ringing Cedars Series, tells the story of entrepreneur Vladimir Megre's trade trip to the Siberian taiga in 1995, where he witnessed incredible spiritual phenomena connected with sacred 'ringing cedar' trees. He spent three days with a woman named Anastasia who shared with him her unique outlook on subjects as diverse as gardening, child-rearing, healing, Nature, sexuality, religion and more. This wilderness experience transformed Vladimir so deeply that he abandoned his commercial plans and, penniless, went to Moscow to fulfil Anastasia's request and write a book about the spiritual insights she so generously shared with him. True to her promise this life-changing book, once written, has become an international best-seller and has touched hearts of millions of people world-wide.

Our Steady Drift Into Freedom:
By urging us to live green in harmony with nature, each other, the elementals, cetaceans, and space people the Ringing Cedars series have majestically stirred the devout curiosity in Russia, Europe and now in the English speaking countries.

Anastasia:
This book and the rest of the series are by far the most mind blowing books I've ever read. She will I hope change the course of history with her plan for humankind. Society, being on the brink of total collapse, is in need of help and Anastasia is someone who can actually change the world. Keep an open mind and allow her to take you on a journey into her world- I guarantee you'll never be the same again.

not worth it ...:
I was all excited about this book, and, like another reader, I almost purchased the entire set at one time, - fortunately I did not. Usually I'm very forgiving when I critique a book, and I'm as gullible as the next person. Also, I'm on that same universal quest as others, seeking answers about myself in relation to this floating island we all live on, while trying to wade through all the lies and misinformation we're expected to believe.
This book offers nothing. If it's supposed to be like Russian... more info
Merely a middle-aged man's fantasy:
I have to report that this book is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. It reads like a middle-aged man's fantasy of a young, beautiful, innocent-yet-wise woman who will have sex with him, show him the wonders of her world, and frolic in the forest like a wood nymph (she is forever twirling around, leaping, diving into the water, and treating the animals like how you would see a Disney princess treating them - like subservient placid pets (even wild wolves and bears!)). The character Anastasia seems... more info
