About this Item
Mr. Mowat tells the story of the People, the Ihalmiut, with pathos, humor and a consuming passion for his subject. In superb, lyrical prose he writes of their way of life, their history and their folk ways. . . . ."The emphasis throughout the book is on the strength and frailties of a people I have known and loved," writes Farley Mowat. "I have tried to present all the aspects of my people's lives as they must be seen - through the eyes which are not the aloof and probing instruments of men surveying an inferior species, but which have abandoned - as far as this is possible - preconceived standards of measurement. It is impossible for me to see with the eyes of an Eskimo. But I believe I have been able to see the People with eyes that do not belong to an 'outlander' either. This is a labor of love, and a small repayment to a race that gave me renewed faith in myself and in all men." Previous owner's signature written neatly at top of free front endpaper. Book in fine condition. Dust jacket shows a trace or wear at top and bottom edges and a touch of foxing at top edge of flaps. Overall jacket is very good. Green cloth, spine stamped in gold. Map endpapers. 344 pp. Seller Inventory # 337
