Seller's Description:
Used; Good. Used; Good. Well into the nineteenth century, Arctic explorers believed that they needed only to smash their ships through a ring of ice encircling the top of the globe, and from there they could tack easily on soft breezes to the North Pole. Acting on this belief, these adventurers were crushed by ice, wasted by scurvy, and frozen to death on the ice floes. This European notion of the Arctic as a ring of ice surrounding a void not only lured countless sailors to their deaths, but also had the effect of drowning out the voices and the visions of the native Arctic people. Now this vibrant collection celebrates both the unheard voices of the Arctic peoples and the trail of words left by the Europeans who pushed forward to fill the hole in their knowledge of the world. Spanning the years from 1741 to the present, RING OF ICE presents many such works, 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. RING OF ICE is a comprehensive and altogether unique anthology presenting the colorful history of the monochromatic Arctic landscape. 2004. TRADE PAPERBACK.
