The gripping true story of one man's ten year expedition from a
village in West Africa to the Arctic Circle WITH A NEW AFTERWORD BY
THE AUTHOR Scorching heat, rich, fertile soil, and treacherous
snakes marked the landscape in which Tete-Michel grew up in 1950s
Togo, West Africa. When he discovered a book on Greenland as a
teen, this distant land became an instant obsession - he was
determined to journey to the place these pages had revealed to him
and embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. A book of rich and
immersive travel writing, Michel the Giant invites the reader to
journey alongside an audacious Kpomassie as he makes his way from
the equator to the bitter cold of the artic and settles into life
with the Inuit peoples, adapting to their foods and customs. Part
memoir, part anthropological observation this captivating narrative
teems with nuanced observations on community, belonging and the
universality of human experience. This title has been previously
published as An African in Greenland
