Publisher's Synopsis

Eskimo Life is a book written by Fridtjof Nansen and published in 1894. The book provides a detailed and fascinating account of the author's experiences among the Eskimo people during his expedition to Greenland in the late 19th century. Nansen, a renowned Norwegian explorer, spent several months living with the Eskimos and studying their way of life. He describes their customs, beliefs, and daily routines, as well as their hunting and fishing techniques, clothing, and tools. The book also includes vivid descriptions of the harsh Arctic environment and the challenges of survival in such a remote and unforgiving landscape. Nansen's observations are not only informative but also deeply respectful of the Eskimo culture and way of life. Overall, Eskimo Life is a valuable and insightful historical document that offers a unique glimpse into a fascinating and often misunderstood culture.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1894 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
