Özet

In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened. This gripping work of literary nonfiction delves into the mystery through unprecedented access to the hikers' own journals and photographs, rarely seen government records, dozens of interviews, and the author's retracing of the hikers' fateful journey in the Russian winter. A fascinating portrait of the young hikers in the Soviet era, and a skillful interweaving of the hikers narrative, the investigators' efforts, and the author's investigations, here for the first time is the real story of what happened that night on Dead Mountain.

Editors Select, March 2014 - Full disclosure: I've been obsessed with the story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident – the name given to the mysterious unsolved deaths of nine young experienced hikers in the Russian Ural mountains in 1959 - since I first heard the story a few years back. Filmmaker-turned-author Donnie Eichar seems to share my enthusiasm, because after years of researching the case, he emptied his savings and traveled to Russia on a mission to recreate the hikers’ journey and uncover the truth behind their deaths. Although this was a familiar story to me, I was completely absorbed by Eichar’s retelling. He weaves his own journey seamlessly in with a retelling of the hikers’ story (which he recreates through their photos and journal entries), along with a detailed breakdown of the investigation following their disappearance. And as a documentary filmmaker, Eichar makes sure he has his timelines and sources straight throughout the book. Above all, I was most impressed by how Eichar treated the Dylatlov Pass Incident as so much more than a creepy tale. He manages to bring a deep human quality to the story, along with immense reverence for the fallen hikers (tone that comes through in his careful narration). I came away from this book feeling as if I had known each one of them - and longing for some closure more than ever before. I won't spoil the outcome of his investigation, but I think it's safe to say that anyone who is interested in this story - or real-life mysteries in general - will be left with plenty to ponder. —Sam, Audible Editor

This story, interesting though it is and fairly well written, is delivered in a manner which is so un-engaging that it was often difficult to hang on.
The author should have stood down and allowed a professional narrator to deliver the text.
It’s clearly not his finest forte.

Oh dear!

Donnie did some fantastic research in around this mysterious incident, however he does have a monotone voice throughout which did dampen my interest slightly.

Great story, slightly ruined by monotone author

hugely enjoyable.. the writing is pared, crisp, precise.. creative non-fiction at its best: characters and narrative vividly drawn, and the reading is smooth, and brings out the nuance and life of the journey.

Compelling narrative, good writing, well read

Firstly, let’s get the narration out of the way, it’s awful! I never understand how no one highlights this to author. It really does make listening a challenge. It’s a well written book with a good over view of the young hikers who died. However there is a lot missing from the over all case esp in regards to the postmortems. Also to who was in the area at the time of the event. What struck me as naive is his view on the Russian government at the time is. It’s very obvious that the writer can’t relate to the situation they lived in. I found myself making a “if you say so”comment every time he wrote about the government … it’s quite a big issue on the case as a whole. He does have an interesting take on what happened, but as I say the evidence of how their bodies were damaged doesn’t quite add up. When looked at forensically there’s a lot missed out as a lot of injuries are inconsistent with a fall. This information is left out of the book, including about where some of the hikers were working at the time, which is also crucial to the case. I could cynically say it’s been omitted to support his theory or is that he didn’t research enough. I did enjoy the book when I got over the narration. The way he describes the hikers is very good, but again left out some crucial information in how the group interacted with the older hiker & his background has been glossed over, which again is quite important with his political background etc, also the challenging of the leadership role all included in a diary but not mentioned at all. As for the younger hikers there is a real sense of them as the young smart people they were. It’s such a sad event and very mysterious.

It’s good attempt, but I found “Don’t Go There” by Svetlana Oss a much better book.

A good take on the event but naive

A through and though provoking account of the sad events that led to the incident. Although not a real complaint but I found the narrators voice to be a little flat and monotonous.

A compelling and informative account
