A Place Beyond Finding Home in Arctic Alaska
Free Download Nick Jans, "A Place Beyond: Finding Home in Arctic Alaska"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0882408070 | EPUB | pages: 192 | 2.8 mb
Nick Jans leads us into his "found" home―the Eskimo village of Ambler, Alaska, and the vast wilderness around it. In his powerful essays, the rhythms of daily arctic life blend with high adventure―camping among the wolves, traveling with Inupiat hunters, witnessing the Kobuk River at spring breakup.
The poignancy of a village funeral comes to life, hordes of mosquitoes whine against a tent, a grizzly stands etched against the snow―just a sampling of the images and events rendered in Jans’ transparent, visual prose. Moments of humor are offset by haunting insights, and by thoughtful reflections on contemporary Inupiaq culture, making A Place Beyond a book to read and enjoy.
