From his icy grave on Novaya Zemlya, a 16th-century Dutch narrator recounts a failed expedition to find a northeast passage to China. As he becomes one with the landscape, he witnesses centuries of change, meditating on human hubris and the forces that shape our world.
History and fiction collide in this boldly imaginative novel, populated by real-life figures, Arctic wildlife, and transcendent shaman. Strange and Perfect Account from the Permafrost explores the unchanging characteristics of human behavior and their impact on a changing natural world. For readers of literary fiction, historical novels, and stories of exploration and survival.
