The book of Sigert about Patursson "from Farre to Siberia" continues the series of books "for the first time in Russian", published in the Paulsen publishing house.
A book called "Siberia these days" was published in 1901 in Copenhagen in Danish, reprinted in 1994 in Farres. Patursson gives the most valuable information about morals and customs of both the indigenous peoples of Siberia (Nenets, Khanty, Evenks, etc), and the Russians living there. Specialists may be interested in detailed descriptions of the relief, climate, flora and fauna of those areas of Siberia, along which the author traveled. Patursson was the first Farier to learn the Russian language and the only native of Farer and one of the few foreigners who mastered the Nenets language and, probably, to some extent, the adverbs of neighboring Samodian peoples, as well as the khants.
The book "from Farrer to Siberia", will be interesting to specialists in history, ethnography, geography, uralistic and other disciplines. For the inhabitants of Siberia, it will be informed as a description of the life and life of their recent ancestors who lived almost 130 years ago. The book is no less interesting for an ordinary reader, looking for not boring information calculations, but adventures - they are also presented in the work of Patursson with excess, and not invented, but experienced by the author in reality. And, finally, this publication will be a pleasant gift to both Russians interested in the pharars and the friends of Russia from the Faroe Islands.
About the author. Sigert O. Patursson (1869-1931) - Farrean traveler, researcher, writer. Patursson was born in the village of Chirchubevur on the Farahs - a small archipelago of eighteen picturesque islands located in the North Atlantic and components, together with Denmark and Greenland, the Danish United Kingdom.
After reading a book about Siberia accidentally falling towards him, Patursson "fell ill with this land and in 1889 at the age of 20 went to Russia. For six years, he traveled around Western and Eastern Siberia, sailed along Ob, Angara, Yenisei, went alone to the Kara Sea, hunted for deer and bears, took part in the rites of sacrifice and shamanism, studied the life and customs of the indigenous inhabitants of Siberia. At the same time, he conducted diary entries, on the basis of which he wrote about his journey the book "Siberia these days". Upon his return from Russia, he visited a number of other countries, including Mongolia and Egypt. In 1911, Patursson again travels around Russia, but already in its southern regions. As a result, two more books were published: "resorts of the Caucasus, Caucasian mineral waters" (1911) and "resorts of Crimea" (1912)
