Description
This is the first full-scale biography of Nansen, drawing on a wealth of new material including diaries and other hitherto untapped documents.
[NANSEN] is a rare thing, a work of immense scholarship blazing with insight...
[Huntford's] NANSEN has been longawaited. It is a triumph ... a hugely satisfying biography
It is a book which takes us outward through the life of another and from there inward into our own. What more can you ask of a biography?
Roland Huntford has captured something of the restless romantic within. It is an accomplished biography at every level.
Roland Huntford is the author of two best-selling polar biographies, SHACKLETON (1985) and SCOTT AND AMUNDSEN (1979), filmed for TV as the acclaimed series THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH. He was the London OBSERVER's Scandinavian correspondent & speaks fluent Norwegian.
