the taiga

also: Siberian taiga

The vast forest Chekhov enters east of the Yenisei in \textit{From Siberia} Ch. IX, treated as a semi-personified, indifferent presence -- vast beyond human measure, site of a glimpsed fugitive convict, the folk image of the titmouse trying to burn the sea, and a talented blacksmith's smithy.
