Aprašymas

Part memoir, part cultural history, and part adventure tale, Older Than the Moon is the gripping account of a life in the harsh north, filled with stories of Labrador that have never been told.

From his early childhood in the north to his experience as a young man searching for his path between two cultural identities, Older Than the Moon is a memoir of a life of struggle, joy, and survival in a harsh land. Told in a narrative form that dips into the history of his recent ancestors through vignettes illustrating the positive qualities that allowed his people to survive and thrive, Alex Saunders uses his own experiences to frame his knowledge of the history, culture, and stories--both oral and documented--of the Inuit and Innu who are his forebears.

Full of harrowing moments, thoughtful reflections, experiences tinged with mysticism, and warm family memories, this book ties many threads together to form a rich tapestry and multi-faceted story recounting the early years of a life of adventure on the land in Labrador.
