Ring of Ice: True Tales of Adventure, Exploration and Arctic Life [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

"A fine re-presentation of Arctic annals, past and present." --"Booklist"

Spanning the years from 1741 to the present, "Ring of Ice" presents many Arctic tales, including the story of Captain Tyson and his crew who, marooned by their own shipmates, were forced to float precariously on a tiny iceberg for five months before being rescued. And the tale of Duncan Pryde, a fur trader employed by the Hudson's Bay Company, who finds himself unwittingly caught up in the Inuit tradition of wife exchange. Juxtaposed with these European tales are stories of survival, skill and daily life among the Inuit, as told through dozens of native poems and legends, as well as by some of today's best writers, including Finn Lynge and Rachel A. Qitsualik.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
