>> Published in the 80s I suppose it can be out of print, but it could be found from some libraries, I hope: "The Last Kings of Thule" by Jean Malaurie, Jonathan Cape Ltd. London 1982 (ISBN 0-224-02028-5). If anyone is familiar with the book and willing to exchange comments about it, please, dont hesitate to mail me directly! Cheers, Ari Saarto >> ************************************************************************** * I have the book, but haven't gotten far enough into it to discuss it. Another interesting book by another Frenchman is "Kabloona" by Gontran de Poncins, which has been reprinted in English by Gray Wolf Press, St. Paul, Minnesota. It is a personal account of a year the author spent among Inuit in northern Canada in 1939. It is fascinating to watch him change from being initially baffled and disgusted by the Inuit to adopting much of their lifestyle and behavior. I recommend it.
