Description

Hero Tales of the Far North is a collection of stories about heroic figures from the Arctic regions, written by Jacob August Riis and first published in 1920. The book features tales of exploration, adventure, and survival, focusing on the bravery and resourcefulness of the people who lived in these harsh and unforgiving environments. Riis draws on his own experiences as a journalist and photographer in the Arctic, as well as on the stories passed down by the indigenous people of the region. The book includes stories of famous explorers such as Roald Amundsen and Fridtjof Nansen, as well as lesser-known figures such as Inuit hunters and Norwegian fishermen. The tales are told in a vivid and engaging style, with a focus on the courage and determination of the individuals involved. The book is a tribute to the spirit of exploration and adventure, and a celebration of the human capacity for resilience and bravery in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
