Many of the old books of this genre I read are written as if the natives are children or savages who need conversion, education and enlightenment. Edward Beauclerk Maurice impressed me with his acceptance of the culture and beliefs of the Inuit/Eskimo people among which he lived for several years. He learned their language and lived among them, sharing their food, clothing and homes, meanwhile growing from a teenager into a man. Maurice recounts his years as a clerk at a Hudson Bay trading post with so much honesty, self deprecating humor and respect that you can't help but like him. Because he was so young (16) when he was first apprenticed to the Hudson Bay Company, he relied on the older men in the village to teach him to hunt, trap, fish and survive. Eventually he becomes a respected man and hunter, but he was reassigned unwillingly to another post every year until his contract was fulfilled.I thought it was sad that he didn't return to the Arctic later in his life, and it's unfortunate that this is the only book he wrote about his experiences.After I finished the book, I re-read the forward by Lawrence Millman. I got a lot more out of it after getting to know the characters and the story.
Of the many, many books I've read involving Arctic expeditions and experiences, this one is one of the best, among the ranks of Gontran De Poncins' 'Kabloona' and Vladimir Albanov's 'In The Land of the White Death.' I found it to have a lot in common with 'Kabloona': while the locations are rather far, the experiences are similar. 'The Last Gentleman Adventurer' also provides a lot of information about the Hudson's Bay Company, which is a fascinating chapter in northern Canadian history.At the time of the documented experiences, this young man was essentially alone (in the beginning among 2 others) in one of the most remote outposts on earth. His interest and respect for Inuit life develops and broadens throughout the book, and in his adventures he meets many different characters. What is delightful about this character is that he sees the Inuit with respect to his own morals, ethics and upbringing, but without judging them. He spends a number of years in Pangnirtung and moves down to Frobisher Bay. Curiously, his last year (alluded to in the novel to be spent at Southampton Island) was not documented in the book, and I am unsure of why.I found his relationships with the Inuit people in this book to be very inspiring; his encounters with the often harsh world around him allowed him to grow and adapt. While frustration was often present with one situation or another, he left his post at Ward Inlet with an incredible love and respect for his Inuit friends; while warned in the beginning not to become too wrapped up with "those people," it is the curiosity and willingness to learn that makes this novel, 'Kabloona' and also the adventures of Stefansson incredibly interesting. While whaling and exploration often exploited the talents of the Arctic people, there are few memoirs of people who sought to learn and survive with their knowledge.
A compelling narrative about the experience of a very young man from the U.K. going to work for the Hudsons Bay Company in the Eastern Arctic during the Great Depression. Life was tough and harrowing, and yet rewarding in terms of unique experiences and warm relationships. It brought back some memories for me regarding my experiences in the Eastern, Western and High Arctic during the Seventies and early Eightes....
This was an amazing book. I just loved it. I have read so many adventure, biography and history books. But this one filled a completely different notch. I wish I had words to explain how I connected with his story. I am not implying I am a gentleman or explorer. It is a reflection on his writing. I recommend this book to everyone that would like to see a bigger, better world.
Have you ever wanted to be an adventurer? But, did not cherish'getting your feet wet' on a milder note, or be subjected to somethinga bit more dangerous to ponder?The last gentleman adventurer Edward Beauclerk Maurice has, in myopinion, given the reader of this extraordinary book the uniqueexperience {in the comfortable armchair} of living the exhilaratingbeauty of the Arctic Realm. His captivating memoir puts us there!Why did he write only one book?Dag StombergSt. Andrews, Scotland
I absolutely loved this book and the author's writing style. I found my self slowing down the reading as a reached the end of the book because I did not want his story to end!! Highly recommended!!
Excellent book! Made me feel like I was there!
This is beautifully written in the matter-of-fact tone of a good friend telling you his story. The author has a wonderful, warm, curious, and self deprecating attitude that brings the people and place to life. The lifestyle and culture at the time of his tenure in the Arctic as a very young man was still very close to pure subsistence living and I found it fascinating.
