	Piotr Rawicz and his novel « Essay « ReadySteadyBook - a literary site
		Rawicz himself was the first to admit that, although being a slave labourer was no picnic, his experience of the camp was not the worst possible: he actually received letters and parcels from Anna, who had managed to avoid arrest and, able to pass as a Polish gentile, survived the war in Kraków.
		Rawicz throughout this vie de bohème cultivated a persona of Oblomov but appearances were deceptive – an understatement in the case of Boris, the main character in Blood from the Sky – and, at some point in the late fifties, Rawicz finally began work on his only novel.
		Rawicz’s text, a baroque novel doubling as a philosophical poem even while pretending not to be, is a precursor of the self-referential postmodern novel: desire, mind, writing, body, utterance, all merge and collapse, as in a kaleidescope.

	Bigfoot: 1942 - Slavomir Rawicz's 'The Long Walk,' ...a review
		Rawicz was a Pole who escaped from a Siberian prisoner of war camp together with six other men in the midst of a war torn world.
		Slavomir Rawicz also noted that these creatures were bipedal saying, "At no time did they drop to the ground on all fours and display the knuckle-walking habit of chimpanzees and gorillas." Knuckle walking is a term devised by American Anthropologist Russell Tuttle to describe the gait of African apes on the ground.
		Rawicz's interpretations of his observations before the era of the Patterson film are intelligently thought out for a man under stress, fleeing captivity, in fact running for his life as an escaped prisoner of war.

	Review of "The Long Walk"
		According to Napier, Rawicz was alleged to have remarked on the presence of buttocks, short legs and rather surprisingly a rounded chin and rather conical shaped head.
		Rawicz's interpretations of his observations before the era of sensationalized Bigfoot journalism are intelligently thought out for a man under stress, fleeing captivity, in fact running for his life as an escaped prisoner of war.
		Rawicz told me that Zoologist Dr. Wladimir Tschernezky, who assisted Rawicz in sketching the creatures also interviewed 3 of the escapees in the same period of time the sketch was done for the book - he was satisfied in their description of the hairy subjects.

	Liberty - Incredible Journey
		In 1939, Rawicz was a 25-year-old reserve officer in the Polish cavalry who was called up, during his wedding, to defend his country against the simultaneous attacks of Stalin and Hitler.
		Because Rawicz was the only prisoner in the entire place who was willing to admit he knew how to repair a radio, he became friends with the camp commandant's wife, and she helped organize his escape.
		Rawicz recovered, joined a free Polish unit, and was sent to the Middle East.

	National Yiddish Book Center - Blood From the Skyby Piotr Rawicz
		Rawicz is in possession of a uniquely perceptive imagination and a particular creative genius, but Blood From the Sky is also resonant with echoes of Joyce and Dostoevsky.
		Although Rawicz himself was incarcerated at Auschwitz (as a Ukrainian, not as a Jew revealed), it is Boris’s persistent pursuit of refuge, not the ordeal of his prison term, that gives the book its dramatic and psychological tension.
		There is also the contrast between Rawicz’s historical specificity, e.g., “In the Ukraine July 12, 194_,” and the book’s “Postscript” in which the author claims: “This book is not a historical record.” Perhaps not, but in the end it is a work of art reverberating with authenticity and truth.

		After some time, however, Rawicz began to talk more freely about his adventures -- of which, he insisted, his Himalayan encounter with the yeti was but a small and insignificant episode.

	Media Coverage
		In 1939, Slavomir Rawicz, a Lieutenant in the Polish cavalry attached to infantry on the Russian front, was captured by the Russians and sent to one of Josef Stalin's labor camps in Siberia - a virtual death sentence.
		In 1942, Rawicz and six companions escaped from the camp to begin an amazing journey that took them 4,000 miles east into Asia, through the rugged terrain of the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and over the Himalaya Mountains of India.
		Anderson reminded the students that when Rawicz claims to have seen two Yetis, the legendary abominable snowmen, it was important to remember that he was probably suffering from extreme exposure and dehydration while traveling over the Himalayas.

	The Long Walk, by Slavomir Rawicz: Book Review
		This incredible book tells the true story of Slavomir Rawicz, a Pole who was arrested by the Soviets in 1939, charged with spying, and sent to a prison camp in Siberia.
		Rawicz's only "crime" was living too close to the Russian border, and soon after arriving at the camp, he and some fellow-prisoners began planning their escape.
		One fact about the trip tells more about the hell Rawicz went through than anything else: when he arrived in India, starved and exhausted, he was taken to a British hospital, where for a month he "screamed and raved in madness," reliving the torments of his capture, imprisonment and escape.

		Cavalry officer Slavomir Rawicz was captured by the Red Army in 1939 during the German-Soviet partition of Poland and was sent to the Siberian Gulag along with other captive Poles, Finns, Ukranians, Czechs, Greeks, and even a few English, French, and American unfortunates who had been caught up in the fighting.
		A year later, he and six comrades from various countries escaped from a labor camp in Yakutsk and made their way, on foot, thousands of miles south to British India, where Rawicz reenlisted in the Polish army and fought against the Germans.
		The Long Walk recounts that adventure, which is surely one of the most curious treks in history.
