Titelbeschreibung

'Eskimo Life' is an account of the culture and society of the indigenous peoples of Greenland at the end of the 19th century. Author Fridtjof Nansen displays deep empathy for the Eskimo people and documents their lives, beliefs, and traditions with great detail. From kayaks and winter-houses to food and dainties, readers will gain insight into the daily life and experiences of the Eskimo. While the book highlights the impact of Western influence, particularly through Christian missionaries, Nansen also challenges the notion of Western superiority and the assumption that Christianity is inherently better than native religions. This fascinating book is a must-read for anyone interested in indigenous cultures and their history.
