I would like to suggest the works of George Kennan (1845-1924) such as Tent Life in Siberia. Here are links to the book:

This is not the diplomat of the same name (George F. Kennan), by the way.
Thank you,

Works by George Kennan (explorer)
I had a very brief look and the chapters, while numerous, are fairly short, at least those that I counted the words for. Some local language transcriptions appear here and there. I'm currently looking at the works of another explorer of Siberia, so I may be interested in this one too.
Come help us record The Deluge THE DELUGE IS BACK!
