This is the facsimile edition of the second half-volume of the
second part of William Thalbitzer's seminal and pioneering
ethnographic study of the native tribes living in and around the
Ammassalik area on the east coast of Greenland around the turn of
the 20th century."
This is the facsimile edition of the first half-volume of the
second part of William Thalbitzer's seminal and pioneering
ethnographic study of the native tribes living in and around the
Ammassalik area on the east coast of Greenland around the turn of
the 20th century. His expansive study was the first ethnological or
ethnographical description of any eastern Greenlandic people and
has gone down in history as a classic within its field. The first
part is available in the same series as Vol. 39.
"These poems erupted in the East Greenlanders heart-the human sea
at the outer limit of the north-on Earth's most desolate and rugged
shores. They were found in the living tradition of a small,
recently discovered Eskimo people that I (Thalbitzer) had gone to
study. For the first time I heard their language as it sounded on
people's lips, as it must have sounded through many generations. I
understood that this was part of the Inuit people's ancient poetry,
and these songs and poems deserved to be written down for greater
humanity." -from the introduction
