Summary: A Hollywoodesque drama based upon arctic philosophy
Comment: Written in the 30's this book is one of the first to popularize the Inuit worldview. Adapted by MGM in 1933 for the film "Eskimo", it served the purpose of commercialization of the 'Exotic' wilderness. Performance by Chinese and Japanese actors as eskimo beauties, and the author himself as the villain. He played a 'Long John Silver' character versus the protagonist Mala as the proud 'Tarzan of the eskimos'. The book contains 'shoocking description of wife trading' and other ancient traditions. A must read, by people interested in 'commercial anthropology'
