Inuit.” Entertainment Weekly
At sixteen, Edward Beauclerk Maurice impulsively signed up
with the Hudson’s Bay Company — the company of Gentleman
Adventurers — and ended up at an isolated trading post in the
Canadian Arctic, where there was no communication with the outside
world and only one ship arrived each year. But he was not alone.
The Inuit people who traded there taught him how to track polar
bears, build igloos, and survive ferocious winter storms. He
learned their language and became completely immersed in their
culture, earning the name Issumatak, meaning “he who thinks.”
In The Last Gentleman Adventurer, Edward Beauclerk Maurice
relates his story of coming of age in the Arctic and transports the
reader to a time and a way of life now lost forever.
