A man naturally surrounds himself with the things that most appeal to his tastes. The books he most loves are on the shelves. If he have travelled, relics from foreign countries surround the room. Should he be musical, his best-loved instrument finds an honoured place. If artistic, the walls will be covered with such art as most appeals to his intelligence. The home necessarily becomes the expression of its owner's tastes. It is an old saying, that "you never know a man till you are married to him," and the words apply equally that "one never knows a man at all until one has seen him in his own home." One must know him in the midst of his household gods, every one of which can unfold a page in the history of its owner's life. Lysaker Station is some half-dozen miles from Christiania. Our little engine, almost enveloped in its snow-plough, had dragged us along slowly, and even to accomplish that short distance had taken nearly twice the allotted time. There, on the platform, awaiting our arrival, stood Dr. Fridtjof Nansen. It was a bitterly cold day--the thermometer registered 9 below zero, Fahr., or 410 of frost--and there he stood without even an overcoat, merely wearing the gray ski uniform which suited his lithesome figure so, well. His hands were enveloped in a pair of the usual Norwegian knitted "baby" gloves, without any fingers, only a thumb. All Northern nations know the advisability of keeping the extremities covered, and consequently always wear gloves, even when fishing! "Welcome, a thousand welcomes to Lysaker!" Nansen said, warmly shaking us by the hand. "But you have brought cold weather with you; I hope you will not suffer from it...".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nansen's "Fram" expedition was an attempt by the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen to reach the geographical North Pole by harnessing the natural east-west current of the Arctic Ocean. Despite much discouragement from other polar explorers, in 1893, Nansen took his schooner "Fram", specially designed to withstand the relentless challenges of the poles, to the New Siberian Islands in the eastern Arctic Ocean, froze her into the pack ice, and waited for the drift to carry her towards the North Pole. Three years later, Frederick Jackson, who had organised his own expedition to Franz Josef Land, was astonished to see "a tall man, wearing a soft felt hat, loosely made, voluminous clothes and long shaggy hair and beard, all reeking with black grease". After a moment's awkward hesitation, Jackson recognised his visitor: "You are Nansen, aren't you?", and received the reply "Yes, I am Nansen." Nansen's first task on his return was to write his account of the voyage. This he did remarkably quickly, producing 300,000 words of Norwegian text by November 1896; the English translation, titled “Farthest North” was ready in January 1897. The book was an instant success, and secured Nansen's long-term financial future. Although Nansen retired from exploration after this expedition, the methods of travel and survival he developed with Johansen influenced all the polar expeditions, north and south, which followed in the subsequent three decades. In his brilliant and spellbound first-person account of this epic polar expedition, Nansen vividly describes the dangerous voyage he took with his crew in the “Fram”, and the 15-month-long attempt to reach the North Pole by sledge, when realizing that the ship would not drift to the pole, he departed with Johansen alone and faced on foot the drifting ice, violent storms, the extreme cold of the Arctic winter and the attacks of wild animals, like polar bears and walruses. “Farthest North” is an unforgettable tale and a unique chance to accompany one of the world’s greatest explorers on one of history’s most daring expeditions.

Book excerpt: In September of 1893, Norwegian zoologist Fridtjof Nansen and a crew manned the schooner Fram, intending to drift, frozen in the Arctic pack-ice, to the North Pole. When it became clear that they would miss the pole, Nansen and his companion Hjalmar Johansen struck off by themselves. Racing the shrinking pack-ice, they attempted, by dog-sled, to go "farthest north." They survived a winter in a moss hut eating walruses and polar bears, and the public assumed they were dead. In the spring of 1896, after three years of trekking, and having made it to within four degrees of the pole, they returned to safety. Nansen's narrative stands with the best writing on polar exploration.
