Bag om Eskimo Life (1894)

Eskimo Life is a book written by the Norwegian explorer, scientist, and diplomat Fridtjof Nansen in 1894. The book provides a detailed account of Nansen's experiences living with the Inuit people (also known as Eskimos) during his expedition to Greenland in the 1880s. Nansen describes the daily life, customs, and beliefs of the Inuit people, including their hunting techniques, clothing, shelter, and social organization. He also provides insights into their spiritual practices, such as their belief in spirits and their shamanic rituals. The book is based on Nansen's personal observations and interactions with the Inuit people, as well as his scientific research on the region's geography, flora, and fauna. It also includes numerous illustrations and photographs that depict the Inuit people and their way of life.Overall, Eskimo Life is a fascinating and informative account of Inuit culture and society during the late 19th century, written by a renowned explorer and scientist who had firsthand experience living among them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
