Wanderlust: An Eccentric Explorer, an Epic Journey, a Lost Age (Zhazhda Zhit)
26.90£
'Lust for Life' is the biography of the eccentric 20th-century Danish explorer Peter Freuchen. It's a captivating, sweeping story of a heroic giant, a tireless adventurer, an eyewitness to and participant in the greatest events of the twentieth century—from his voyages across the agonizingly endless, deadly Arctic ice to his active work in the underground resistance during World War II. Freuchen's life is a definitive adventure novel, serving as the basis for many of his own books. An eccentric Dane with an incredible sense of humor, he participated in and led arduous expeditions, survived a Nazi prison camp, and overcame a severe injury that cost him a leg and nearly took his life. Freuchen was driven forward not only by his own restlessness but, most importantly, by ideals that were far ahead of his time: advocacy for indigenous peoples, concern for the environment, and debates that continue to this day. 'Lust for Life' is an unforgettable story of courage and discovery, restlessness and endurance, and a profound reflection on our relationship with the planet and people.
