The Thirst to Live is a biography of the eccentric Danish researcher of the twentieth century Peter Freuchen. A fascinating, large–scale story of a heroic giant, a tireless adventurer, an eyewitness and participant in the greatest events of the twentieth century - from traveling through the painfully endless deadly Arctic ice to active work in the underground resistance during World War II. The life of Freuchen is an absolute adventure novel, which served as the basis for many of his own books. An eccentric Dane with an incredible sense of humor, he was a participant and leader of the most difficult expeditions, survived in a Nazi prisoner of war camp, and overcame a severe injury that deprived him of his leg and almost took his life. Freuchen was driven forward not only by his own restlessness, but, most importantly, by ideals that were significantly ahead of his time: defending the interests of indigenous peoples, caring for the environment, and discussions that continue to this day. "Thirst to Live" is an unforgettable story about courage and discovery, restlessness and endurance, and also a serious reflection on our relationship with the planet and people.
