Dalle terre del Nord

Year: 2008 Pages: 134 From the Northlands, based on travels made by the author around the Arctic Circle and inspired by the discovery of the Northwest Passage by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, leads the reader through the geographical areas covering that vast territory that goes from Iceland to Alaska through Greenland and the Arctic Canada of Nunavut, but also to the Alps which for years have been for the author a true training ground for appreciating the sublime and how it is perceived in the mountain landscape. Finally, a final part is dedicated to the in-depth study of the Inuit culture, its belief system and its mythology, that is, the fundamental anthropological and human aspect to truly enter the soul of the Arctic world: perhaps the oldest place from which life radiated like an immense light over the entire earth's crust.
