L'originalité de l'oeuvre de Jean Malaurie s'appuie sur sa double nature d'écrivain et de scientifique de très haut niveau. Il est sans aucun doute le meilleur spécialiste et l'écrivain français le plus lu sur l'Arctique. Auteur du récit Les Derniers Rois de Thulé (1955), Jean Malaurie est par ailleurs le fondateur et directeur jusqu'à une date très récente de la prestigieuse collection "Terre Humaine" (aux éditions Plon), l'un des fleurons de l'édition française avec des titres aussi importants que Les Derniers Rois de Thulé, Tristes Tropiques de Claude Lévi-Strauss ou encore Le Cheval d'Orgueil de Per-Jakez Hélias.Ce Cahier souhaite mieux faire connaître, au-delà du cercle étroit des spécialistes, l'oeuvre monumentale de Jean Malaurie, qui se développe sur plus de soixante-dix ans, en soulignant la diversité d'un travail pluridisciplinaire. Dans ce volume, géographes, philosophes, ethnographes, anthropologues et écrivains multiplient les éclairages, tentant de mettre en évidence les différentes facettes d'une vie qui s'est voulue engagée et libre de toute appartenance idéologique et les problématiques d'une oeuvre protéiforme et passionnée.A côté de ces auteurs, des textes et documents inédits ou rares de Jean Malaurie (extrait du récit de voyage Hoggar, un texte sur son père, extrait de la correspondance avec Lévi-Strauss, lettres aux auteurs de la collection "Terre Humaine" , échanges épistolaires avec ses correspondants groenlandais et inuit, extraits des carnets de terrain abondamment illustrés) soulignent l'oeuvre du géomorphologue et de l'anthropologue, qui a contribué à renouveler le regard que nous portons sur les peuples premiers et les civilisations traditionnelles.Ce Cahier sera aussi l'occasion de découvrir, à travers un inédit, un aspect peu connu de l'auteur qui se révèle être un magnifique et bouleversant pastelliste.

Norwegian-born Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink (1864-1934) claimed to have been the first person to step onto the Antarctic mainland when he first visited the continent in 1895. Becoming enthusiastic about Antarctic exploration, he was inspired to organise his own expedition on the Southern Cross, with principal funding from Sir George Newnes, an English newspaper proprietor. The British Antarctic Expedition (1898-1900) of ten men to Cape Adare comprised seven Norwegians, two British and one Australian. This was the first expedition to construct a building in Antarctica, overwinter on land, and use sledge dogs for travel. It also set a new farthest south record. Although Borchgrevink was not an effective leader, and problems developed between the Norwegians and the English speakers, the expedition's scientific and exploratory achievements were significant. First published in 1901, and illustrated with many photographs, this work illuminates these endeavours.

Karl von den Steinen (1855-1929) was a German physician, explorer and ethnologist who did pioneering work on the anthropology of Brazil's indigenous peoples. This book, published in 1886, describes the first of his two expeditions to the previously uncharted Xingu River. It begins with observations of colonial society in the coastal cities, an economic overview, and a summary of European exploration in the region. The main part of the book mixes sustained narrative and descriptive passages recounting the party's experiences with day by day journal notes on topography, geology, flora, fauna and population, incorporating weather records, river depth, arrival and departure times, and other brief but telling details (Viele Moskitos.). It includes substantial ethnographic descriptions, consideration of the local languages and their typology, and five glossaries, the most substantial being of Bakairi, for which a grammar sketch is also included. The book is generously illustrated with engravings and three maps.
