Used book Top of the World by Hans Ruesch is a novel about the lives of Inuits living close to the North
Pole. The narrative describes the lives of these people in great detail,
including their religious beliefs, hunting and living methods, diet, social
customs, etc. However, Ruesch manages to do this while presenting characters
that are interesting as people, and telling a story that's quite interesting,
as well. I read this book very quickly, because I got involved almost
immediately and stayed that way throughout.
This novel tells a rousing
story of adventure, danger and courage in a land where the nights are six
months long, where thirty degrees below freezing is considered a warm day,
where gigantic bears outnumber human beings and where the moral customs are
often exactly opposite to our own. Top of
the World reveals their primitive social and sexual customs, their
religious beliefs and practices, their strange eating habits and their constant
but happy struggle for life.
