Scientist and adventurer Jean Malaurie has studied the Arctic and its people for over 70 years. His extraordinary experiences hold lessons for us all.

In the late 1940s, geomorphology took Jean Malaurie from the Sahara Desert to the Arctic. His meeting with the Inuit gave him a profound respect for their culture and approach to spirituality. In this illustrated biography, writer Makyo, artist Frédéric Bihel, and Jean Malaurie plead urgently to save a people whose extinction could herald our own.
