The book "Island of Courage" tells about the "Robinson" of the North, who found themselves on the island of Spitsbergen for a long 6 years. The story is based on a real story of 1743. Pomors went to fish for sea beasts. Near the coast of the archipelago the ship was jammed by ice, and part of the crew went ashore to reconnoiter the situation. But the wind changed, the ice receded and the ship was carried out to sea. Finding themselves on an island without food and warm clothes, with only one gun and a few loads, the men managed to survive in the harsh Arctic conditions and tell their story back home. In addition to the sharp and exciting adventures, the book lends itself to a deep immersion in the realities of the 18th century. The language alone is worth it. After reading the story, you will learn who are the Oshkuys and Lahtaks, what the grass-salata is for, how to shoot from a squeaker, build a mouth, sew owls and mittens.
"Island of Courage" a book about people who do not lose heart in the most extreme conditions. A book about kindness and mercy, patience and hope.
