Description: **** LIKE NEW CONDITION ADULT OWNED / SMOKE FREE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE INQUIRE Book of the Eskimos Peter Freuchens 1961 HC Cultural History Anthropology Travel - R5 Danish author, Peter Freuchen, set up a trading post in Greenland in 1910. There, he spent 50 years among the Inuit, including marrying an Inuit woman and having two children. This book chronicles his life experiences spent among the Inuit of Greenland from the view of a stranger and gives us a glimpse into a world completely unlike our own, a civilization still shrouded in mystery. Peter Freuchen, born Lorenz Peter Elfred Freuchen was a Danish explorer, writer and traveler. He spent many years in Thule, Greenland, living with the Polar Inuit. He worked with Knud Rasmussen, crossing the Greenland icecap with him. In 1935, Freuchen visited South Africa, and by the end of the decade, he had travelled to Siberia. In 1938 he founded The Adventurer's Club (Eventyrernes Klub in Danish), which still exists. They later honoured his memory by planting an oak tree and creating an Eskimo cairn near the place, where he left Denmark for Greenland back in 1906. He was also employed by the movie industry as a consultant and scriptwriter, specializing in Arctic-related scripts. Most notably MGM's Oscar winning Eskimo/Mala The Magnificent starring Ray Mala. In 1956, he won $64,000 on The $64,000 Question, an American TV quiz-show on the subject "The Seven Seas". During World War II, Freuchen was actively involved with the Danish resistance movement against the Germans, despite having lost a leg to frost bite in 1926. He was imprisoned for a time by the Germans.
