The Arctic - An Anthology

The Arctic - An Anthology, edited by Elizabeth Kolbert, features writers as diverse as Fridtjof Nansen, Barry Lopez and Jules Verne in a cross genre collection that bears witness to the magic and history of the region. The Arctic has long been alluring to the collective imagination; it is beautiful, barren, desolate and, in the twenty first century, seriously under threat. This anthology combines writing from the Arctic’s past, in order to document the need for its future. The Arctic - An Anthology is published alongside a companion volume, The Antarctic - An Anthology (stock number 172098).
