Kabloona: Among the Inuit (Graywolf Rediscovery Series)
Gontran De Poncins , and Lewis Galantiere Manufacturer: Graywolf Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1555972497 |
Book Description
This extraordinary classic has been variously acclaimed as one of the great books of adventure, travel, anthropology, and spiritual awakening. In 1938-39, a French nobleman spent fifteen months living among the Inuit. He is at first appalled by their way of life: eating rotten raw fish, sleeping with each others wives, ignoring schedules, and helping themselves to his possessions. But as de Poncins odyssey continues, he is transformed from Kabloona, The White Man, an uncomprehending outsider, to someone who finds himself living, for a few short months, as Inuk: a man, preeminently.Customer Reviews:

Kabloona in the Yellow Kayak: One Woman's Journey Through the North West Passage
Victoria Jason Manufacturer: Turnstone Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0888012187 |
Book Description
During the summers of 1991 through 1994 Victoria Jason and two companions - Fred Reffler and Don Starkell - set out to kayak from Churchill, Manitoba to Tuktoyuktuk on the Beaufort Sea. When she set out 1991, Victoria, already a grandmother of two, had only been kayaking for a year and was still recovering from the second of two strokes.Her 7,500 kilometer journey last four years. In the first year Fred dropped out due to an injury, and Victoria suffered serious internal bleeding ulcers. The second year Victoria and Don reached Gjoa Haven together, but Victoria was forced to drop out there, suffering from edema caused by excessive fatigue. Don continued alone and almost died from extreme frostbite before being rescued by authorities just 46 miles short of Tuktoyuktuk.
Not content with her failure, Victoria returned to the North the following two years and completed her triumphant journey alone from west to east, paddling from Fort Providence on the MacKenzie River to Paulatuk in 1993, and from Paulatuk to Gjoa Haven in 1994.
Among the Inuit people she became known as the Kabloona (the Inuktitut word for stranger) in the Yellow Kayak.

Victoria was a terrifically generous woman. In spite of the fact that she was battling a very aggressive brain tumor over the last year, she gave me the pleasure of her company for an afternoon during a recent trip through Winnipeg. She spoke of a second book she was working on about her return to the North. Unfortunately this second book remains unfinished, as Victoria passed away on May 20, 2000. She was a great lady!

Juan Pablo II: El Papa Que Abri Fronteras (Prov.)
Journalists of Reuters Manufacturer: Reuters Prentice Hall ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 8420540188 |
Book Description
In this new Spanish language edition of "Pope John Paul II: Reaching Out Across Borders," Reuters correspondents bring together fresh, unique, and firsthand insights about Pope John Paul II, a vivid portrait of him as a man--and a realistic, forward-looking assessment of his achievements, his legacy, and the Church he leaves to his successors. This book includes coverage of the Pope's May 2003 visit to Spain.
Readers meet the man who, before joining the priesthood, was an athlete, an actor, a soldier, a stonecutter, and a published poet--who changed history by taking on Communism in Poland, then later denounced the spiritual impoverishment of untrammeled capitalism--who transformed the Church's tortured relationship with the Jewish community. Also meet the moral conservative and reformer who led the Church into its third millennium, watching him face storms of debate and scandal within his church, as he carries its message of faith to every corner of the world, and presides over its explosive growth throughout the developing world. This is the only book on Pope John Paul II to draw upon the extraordinary global resources of Reuters, the world's leading news agency. Notable amongst those resources: Vatican correspondent Philip Pullella, a world-renowned expert on Pope John Paul II who organized Reuters' highly successful exhibition of Reuters photographs of the Pope that has been traveled throughout Europe coinciding with the English language version's publication.
