Hummocks

Edición de la obra Hummocks

"More than simple knolls, the jutting ice that emerges over time is a metaphor for the process of memory and recollection for Malaurie and in the collective memory of the Inuit. Hummocks is the first English translation of the renowned anthropologist's memoir of his expeditions to the Canadian Arctic, and a detailed evocation of Malaurie's travels among the Inuit. Haunted by the North and its people, Malaurie is the modern heir to a storied tradition of Northern exploration, and Hummocks is a dialogue with the great European explorers of the North - Amundsen, Sir John Franklin, Ross, and Rasmussen."--Jacket.
