A Traveller, adventurer, specialist of the poles, and also wise man, Jean -Louis Etienne leads us, through these fifteen chronicles, to the discovery of the Artic world and the threats that weigh heavily upon this last earthly frontier. Across an enchantingly poetic and brutally unforgiving land, we accompany a scientist searching for knowledge hidden in the depths of the glaciers or at the bottom of the ocean and learn of the extraordinary bravery of past expeditions and the great legends of the Far North. A fragile universe of thrilling beauty, The bear s complaint is also that of man who watches his world grow tragically smaller. This is a parable where the perspicacity of a man of science and the awe of a lover of nature converge. Jean-Louis Etienne has written several books among wich Le Marcheur du Pôle and Le Pôle Interieur.
