The book is dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of Roald Amundsen and continues the series of books by the Paulsen publishing house "For the first time in Russian".Roald Amundsen is a legend of conquering the poles of the Earth, a national hero of Norway, 'Napoleon of the Polar countries' et cetera. Everyone knows this Amundsen. However, in his biography there is a fact not so well known to the general public — the story of his adoption of two Chukchi girls. In 1921, after an unsuccessful expedition aboard the Maud, the great polar explorer returned to his Svartskug estate on the Bunnefjord with two girls - an Eskimo of 4 years and a half-Eskimo of about 12. For several years, in the period between the two World Wars, the lives of Roald Amundsen, Camilla Carpendale and Nita Kakot Amundsen intertwined with each other. This whole personal, very complex and contradictory story of two children and an adult, a world—famous polar explorer, became the subject of interest of the famous Norwegian author and researcher of the life of R. Amundsen Espen Itreberg. The book tells about the life of Nita Kakot and Camilla Carpendale, about how their fate was strangely intertwined with the fate of Amundsen himself, and why he had to return them to their homeland. This story is about the forces that first brought them together and then separated them. Today readers can get acquainted with this difficult story and answer the question: is the heart a stone?The author of the book relied not only on documentary sources, but also on personal impressions from trips to the places where the girls lived during their wanderings.
