English Eskimo Life Produced by StevenGibbs, Brian Wilcox and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Eskimo Life" by Fridtjof Nansen is an ethnographic account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the lives, customs, and environment of the Greenlandic Eskimos, highlighting their relationship with nature and their survival strategies in a harsh Arctic landscape. Nansen, having spent a winter among the Eskimos, aims to document his observations while expressing compassion for their declining culture due to European influence. At the start of the narrative, Nansen sets the scene by describing the stark beauty of Greenland and the unique lifestyle of the Eskimos who inhabit it. He reflects on their intimate connection to the sea and their resources, underscoring contrasts between their past and present. The opening introduces key themes such as the resilience of the Eskimo people in the face of environmental challenges and the impact of European colonization. Nansen also shares personal anecdotes from his winter experience, crafting an evocative image of the Eskimo community and their way of life, enriched by their cultural practices and deep appreciation for their surroundings.
