5.0 out of 5 stars From Back Cover, January 25, 2009

Avid Reader "Jim" (Columbus, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Top of World (Paperback)

Threatened by relentless cold and civilization's harsh intrusion, they endured with dignity and laughter.

TOP OF THE WORLD

This is the extraordinary international best seller of adventure, danger and incredible courage among the Polar Eskimos... a people whose buoyant happiness and gaiety defy six months of darkness, whose generous code of honor among friends includes the loan of a wife or a knife...

This review is from: Top of World (Paperback)

I love this story of the eskimos of long ago. They are such happy people even though they have the hardest life. I buy this book whenever I can on Amazon or Ebay and give them away, so others can appreciate this story. They have such a simple life, but take great enjoyment in every moment. I think the people of today could learn a lot from these people and not take anything for granted.

5.0 out of 5 stars An old book Iwas looking for, but in good shape., November 11, 2010

Riomar - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Top of World (Paperback)

I was looking for this book for some time, but I was afraid about the condition it would be, because it was an old edition. I was surprised by the good condition the "used book" arrived. The book itself is great!
