Zustand: Good. : Hace cien años, un joven llamado Jan Welzl dejó su hogar en Europa y se dirigió al Lejano Norte. Se marchó en un carro tirado por caballos, cambió el carro por un trineo tirado por renos y desapareció durante treinta años. Al igual que Robinson Crusoe, convirtió la adversidad en aventura y la naturaleza en un sueño, donde todo podía suceder y cualquiera podía ser un héroe. En esta reedición de una de sus primeras obras, el galardonado autor y artista Peter Sís explora la vida del héroe popular checo Jan Welzl y recrea su extraordinaria odisea ártica. Mezclando hechos con leyenda, pinta la fascinante historia de un explorador poco conocido y de los nativos que se convirtieron en sus maestros y amigos. Con mapas, guiones gráficos, panoramas e incluso un mito contado en pictogramas, Peter Sís ha creado un festín visual.
