By Vilhjálmur Stefánsson

Book Overview

The Shaman's Revenge is a book based on the Arctic diaries of Vilhjalmur Stefansson, a renowned explorer and anthropologist who studied the Inuit people of the Arctic. The book tells the story of a young Inuit shaman who seeks revenge on Stefansson after he allegedly stole a sacred artifact from their community.
