About the book: 2024 / "Lust to Live" - ​​a biography of the eccentric Danish explorer of the twentieth century Peter Freuchen. A fascinating, large-scale story of a heroic giant, a tireless adventurer, an eyewitness and participant in the greatest events of the 20th century - from travels across the painfully endless deadly ice of the Arctic to active work in the underground Resistance during the Second World War. Freuchen's life is an unconditional adventure novel, which served as the basis for many his own books. An eccentric Dane with an incredible sense of humor, he was a participant and leader of the most difficult expeditions, survived a Nazi prisoner of war camp and overcame a serious injury that lost his leg and almost took his life. Freuchen was driven forward not only by his own restlessness, but, most importantly, by ideals that were far ahead of his time: defending the interests of indigenous peoples, caring for the environment, discussions that continue to this day. “Lust for Life” is an unforgettable story of courage and discovery, restlessness and endurance, as well as serious reflection on our relationship with the planet and people.
