"Lust for Life" is a biography of the eccentric twentieth-century Danish explorer Peter Frøychen. Fascinating, sweeping story of a heroic giant, a tireless adventurer, an eyewitness and participant in the greatest events of the twentieth century - from traveling on the languidly endless deadly ice of the Arctic to active work in the underground resistance of the Second World War. A Life of Freuchen, is an unquestionable adventure novel that has served as the basis for many of his own books. An eccentric Dane with an incredible sense of humor, he was a participant and leader of the toughest expeditions, survived a Nazi prisoner-of-war camp, and overcame a severe injury that robbed him of his leg and nearly took his life. Freuchen was driven forward not only by his own restlessness but, more importantly, by ideals that were far ahead of his time: advocacy for indigenous peoples, concern for the environment, debates that continue to this day. "Lust for Life is an unforgettable story of courage and discovery, restlessness and endurance, and a serious reflection on our relationship with the planet and people.
