Editor's Recommendation:
1. The masterpieces of the "Akutagawa Prize" winner of the "Photography World" are reproduced: "One photo, one box of film." 120 iconic polar photographs have been selected to record the light and shadow of Michio Hoshino's 20 years of living in the Arctic.
2. The author's final journey is revealed for the first time: "Siberian Diary" (June 30-July 27, 1996), documenting Michio Hoshino's final moments. Across the Bering Land Bridge, from Alaska to Siberia, this is a hero's final journey.
3. 64-mo paperback edition, a tribute to the first Japanese edition: Michio Hoshino's Nature Collection series of three books, compact in size, easy to turn along the grain; perfect for commuting and traveling; with a distinctive, durable cover in a distinctive color. Bears accompany the wild, snow reflects the coolness, the body remains still, yet the mind is far away.
Introduction:
"Forests, Glaciers, and Whales" is the final work of eco-photographer and travel writer Michio Hoshino. Serialized in Family Pictorial, it was abruptly ended by the author's tragic death after being attacked by a brown bear on the Kamchatka Peninsula. This captivating illustrated travelogue, interspersed with anthropological field notes, has been hailed by Hoshino's researchers as a pinnacle and a classic. The book charts his journey from southeastern Alaska, northward across the Bering Strait, and westward, completing a cultural roots-seeking journey from Alaska to Siberia, from the Americas to Asia. Along the way, the author documents meetings with tribal elders and his search for the origins of mythology. The three key words—forests, glaciers, and whales—intertwine and connect the eternal theme of time. Returning to the primitive, he draws intuition and understanding from nature, persistently expressing truth through photographs and words, finding happiness through experience and warmth.
