The remarkable life and fate of Ivan Vasilyevich Kulaev can serve as a model for true entrepreneurs. A sixteen-year-old boy, the son of a peasant exiled to Siberian penal servitude, after the death of his father, he managed to become the owner of several commercial enterprises. Fate was not kind to this self-taught entrepreneur. A daring man, he tried his luck in the tundra mines, drowned under the ice of the Yenisei River, survived the Chinese Boxer Rebellion, the Russo-Japanese War, World War I, the Revolution, the nationalization of property, and a bandit kidnapping. Each time, starting from scratch, he believed in his own good fortune, in his lucky stars. The book recreates the authentic atmosphere of everyday life, economics, and industry in Siberia at the turn of the century.
