The Cook-Ed-Up Peary-Odd-Ical Dictionary (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book satirizes the media frenzy and controversy surrounding the competing polar expeditions of Robert Peary and Frederick Cook in 1908-1909. The author uses humor and a lexicon of made-up words to create a unique narrative that pokes fun at the outlandish claims made by both explorers. The book also provides a glimpse into the lives of the Inuit people, who were often treated as pawns by the explorers. Ultimately, the book explores the themes of truth, deception, and the lengths people will go to achieve fame. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332865796_0
