Island Between Tapa dura - 1977

de Margaret E. Murie


Información de la editorial

Island Between is a story from another time. One day, a giant who had one foot in Siberia and one in Alaska threw a handful of rock and dirt into the water, and it remained there as an island between two great continents. In this first-ever paperback edition, Margaret Murie weaves a tale of Eskimo life on Sevuokuk, known today as St. Lawrence Island. Through the life of Toozak, a young man embarking on his first year as a hunter, the narrative traces the experience of the people of Sevuokuk through the yearly cycle that defined their lives. The story is a lively tale of love, jealousy, struggles to overcome the difficulties of daily life, a retelling of ancient teaching stories and of first contact with strange, white-skinned people.
