The Reindeer People : Living With Animals And Spirits In Siberia
Attribution
Piers VitebskyPublication Details
BookHoughton Mifflin2005Description
Since the last Ice Age, the reindeer’s extraordinary adaptation to cold has sustained human life over vast tracts of the earth’s surface, providing meat, fur, and transport. Drawing on nearly twenty years of field work among the Eveny in northeast Siberia, Piers Vitebsky shows how Eveny social relations are formed through an intense partnership with these extraordinary animals as they migrate over the swamps, ice sheets, and mountain peaks of what in winter is the coldest inhabited region in the world. The Reindeer People is a vivid and moving testimony to a Siberian native people’s endurance and humor at the ecological limits of human existence. “This immersion in the lives of some of the world’s toughest and most resilient people is a powerfully lovely book. Like the reindeer themselves, this book takes wing.” — Daily Telegraph “A wondrous, complex story…and Vitebsky tells it beautifully…Vitebsky’s fascination with his subject and joyful attention to detail are what make this book stand out.” Like all the finest anthropology, this book entertains readers with descriptions of an alien culture, only to imbue them with a deeper sense of common humanity.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Availability
