Eskimo Life (1894)

Fridtjof Nansen, Dr.

Eskimo Life is a book written by the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen and published in 1894. The book is a detailed account of Nansen's experiences living among the Inuit people of Greenland during his 1888-1889 expedition. Nansen provides a comprehensive overview of Inuit culture, including their hunting and fishing practices, clothing and housing, social structure, and religious beliefs. He also describes the harsh Arctic environment and the challenges faced by the Inuit in their daily lives. Throughout the book, Nansen demonstrates a deep respect for the Inuit and their way of life, and he provides valuable insights into their customs and traditions. Eskimo Life is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in Arctic exploration, anthropology, or indigenous cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
