Hunters of the Arctic

This well-preserved first edition hardcover is near fine, with tight, square, and unmarked pages, though there is an inscription on the first page by the former owner. Dust cover is near fine, blue cloth boards, and bright gilt lettering on the spine of the book. A lovely first printing of the true British edition. Hunters of the Arctic (Les Chasseurs de l'Arctique) by Roger Frison-Roche is reflecting his passion for exploration and the Arctic’s harsh, beautiful wilderness. Known for his detailed, immersive descriptions, Frison-Roche draws readers into the lives and traditions of the indigenous Arctic hunters, portraying the ways they navigate and survive in one of the most extreme climates on Earth. Frison-Roche, a French writer, mountaineer, and explorer, was fascinated by the endurance and resilience required to thrive in such a demanding environment. His storytelling combines realistic, almost journalistic details with elements of fiction, providing a narrative that captures the survival skills and profound respect for nature exhibited by Arctic communities.
