Synopsis

This is Part Two of an epic story of survival and resilience, spanning two generations, as told by the last of the line of an ancient Polish noble family, based on true accounts and memoirs. This volume begins on the eve of the Second World War, takes the reader through the German invasion of Poland followed by the invasion and occupation by Soviet Russia. Along with tens of thousands of others, the family is deported to Siberia. As a young teenage boy Viktor experiences the horror of the journey and life in the labour camps. The story continues with a daring escape and the subsequent four-thousand-mile trek to freedom in Persia.

New research has demonstrated that a simple text manipulation can reduce the phenomenon known as migration (letters or words seeming to move) and lead to improved comprehension when reading narrative text for readers with delayed-visual-disengagement dyslexia. When reading aloud from this adjusted text, compared to normal text, research participants made fewer mispronunciations, fewer omissions, fewer substitutions, and fewer migrations and thus scored higher on standardised tests of comprehension. Crossbridge Books is the first publisher to publish books using this adjusted text.

Wolves of Russia Part Two: The Long Walk (dyslexia-friendly edition) is published in this format. The content is not considered suitable for readers below the age of fourteen.

"This is a profoundly moving story of one man and his family caught up in the tumultuous events of the Revolution and War years in Europe. An epic journey fraught with violence and remarkable examples of humanity spanning a vast continent. The addition of first-hand transcripts adds another layer of historical authenticity to the work." David Burns - Producer, Eden Films

"I was extremely impressed with this novel, it's an important accomplishment. Weaving the tale of this true story through eye-witness accounts and meticulously detailed research to take us on a fascinating adventure through a chaotic landscape of societal upheaval, personal tragedy, and the political intrigues of war. I found myself carried along on the journey, the writing flows and is vividly descriptive which made it pretty much effortless to read in a few days. Wonderfully absorbing, and informative for history buffs." Rolf Mohr - Lead Concept Artist, Disney
