About this book
After crossing Greenland in 1888, Fridtjof Nansen spent a winter among the Greenlanders of the west coast, living in their huts, joining their hunting and learning their language. He says one winter is too short to know a people well, and this book records his impressions of their daily life and customs. Two chapters turn to their folklore, citing Hinrich Rink's collection of Eskimo tales. William Archer translated it in 1893 from Nansen's Norwegian original, which Nansen had revised for the English edition.
