Sylvain Tesson is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on April 26, 1972 in Paris, France. Sylvain Tesson (born 26 April 1972) is a French writer and traveler who was from Paris, France. He also serves as head of an NGO called La guilde europeenne du Raid.
In 2010 Tesson embarked on a plan to live in a solitary state for six months along Baikal’s shores Lake Baikal in a rustic cabin during winter. It is located about 50 km to the south of Irkutsk. According to his own words “the recipe for happiness: a window on Baikal, a table by the window.” He narrated his experiences living in Siberia within a memoir called The Consolations of the Forest in the solitude of the Cabin in the Siberian Taiga. It won the 2014 Dolman Best Travel Book Award. The film was also released by the author called Alone, a film of one hundred days of Lake Baikal (2011), written by Tesson and Florence Tran. In 2015 he won the Prix de la Page 112.
From May 2003 until January 2004, he walked the same route that was allegedly utilized in the book by Slawomir Rawicz for escape from from the gulag, as Rawicz wrote in his book The Long Walk (1955). Rawicz took the route across Yakutsk located in Siberia up to Calcutta in India by his own. Tesson said the journey was plausible, but there are some inconsistencies like Rawicz’s claims of 10 days without drinking water during his trek through the Gobi. Tesson published a book along together with photographer Thomas Goisque based on this adventure, entitled Sous l’etoile of the liberte. Six mille miles a trip across the Eurasie wild (“Under the light of liberty. Six thousand kilometers through the Eurasian wild.”)
