Novel
In the fall of 1897, the American explorer and adventurer Robert Peary brings six Inughuit, the name of the people living in northern Greenland, to New York on a steamship. They were to be examined, but above all exhibited and displayed. Four of them quickly die of tuberculosis, one is brought back - but nine-year-old Minik stays. His story - baptism, school, fraudulent foster father, escape - makes the headlines. In Franzobel's novel, Minik not only becomes a pawn between civilized American culture and the supposedly primitive culture of a primitive people. His fate is a hero's song to the struggle for survival of an almost extinct people who have proven how man can survive even in the most inhospitable of regions.
Franzobel, born in Vöcklabruck in 1967, is one of Austria's best-known writers. He has been awarded the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize, the Arthur Schnitzler Prize and the Nicolas Born Prize, among others. His novel “Das Floß der Medusa” was shortlisted for the German Book Prize and he received the Bavarian Book Prize.
