«Esthétique du pôle Nord» is the philosophical and ethnographic essay by Michel Onfray, published by LGF in paperback format (158 pages, in French).
The philosopher recounts the journey he made with his elderly father to beyond the Arctic polar circle, fulfilling a wish the latter had expressed decades earlier. He describes the frozen landscape, contact with the Inuit and a shaman, and reflects on cultures where survival is the only logic and on the forms of time.
Subtitled «Stèles hyperboréennes», it belongs to the Biblio Essais collection of Le Livre de Poche and includes photographs by Alain Szczuczynski.
For readers of philosophy, ethnography and travel writing, as well as for followers of Michel Onfray.
