About The Book

Winner of the National Book Award This best-selling groundbreaking exploration of the Far North is a classic of natural history anthropology and travel writing.The Arctic is a perilous place. Only a few species of wild animals can survive its harsh climate. In this modern classic Barry Lopez explores the many-faceted wonders of the Far North: its strangely stunted forest its mesmerizing aurora borealis its frozen seas. Musk oxen polar bears narwhal and other exotic beasts of the region come alive through Lopez’s passionate and nuanced observations. And as he examines the history and culture of the indigenous people along with parallel narratives of intrepid often underprepared and subsequently doomed polar explorers Lopez drives to the heart of why the austere and formidable Arctic is also a constant source of breathtaking beauty beguilement and wonder. Written in prose as memorably pure as the land it describes Arctic Dreams is a timeless mediation on the ability of the landscape to shape our dreams and to haunt our imaginations.
