Vaillant gives us a sense of place by telling us the stories of the people that live in Prymorya. This all gives us a sense of place so that throughout the rest of the story we can understand what it is like for the people there. To show how cold it is later when they want to drive their cars and unimogs he explains that they had to melt the fluids in the car so they could actually drive them. Vaillant says that the trees are brittle and the sap is freezing and expanding to the point that is could simultaneously explode. It is also shown how cold it is to the point that you almost feel as if you are there and can feel what it’s like. He uses really good words to show how quiet and still the forest is.

He explains how the trees and canopy that hangs over head and the snow and how there is so much of it seems to be emitting a light of its own in the dark. In the Prologue the very first paragraph explains form one man’s perspective what it is like to walk in this place. In the beginning and throughout the whole book Vaillant shows us through his words and geographically what Prymorya is like. He gives us different anecdotes to show us multiple peoples thoughts and relationships with the Prymorya. His use of language of showing instead of telling allows us to feel like we are there and can feel the cold and relate with people on an emotional level. He shows us why it is important to people whether is be culturally, historically/ politically, or even how they survived on the land.

In the book The Tiger Vaillant really gives a sense of place by explaining the how it looks geographically and what its like to be there.
