Traveling through landscapes of transcendent desolation, Millman wandered by way of the Shetland Islands, the Faeroes, Iceland, Greenland, and Labrador. His way was marked by surprising human encounters--with a convicted murderer in Reykjavik, an Inuit hermit in Greenland, an Icelandic guide who leads him to a place called Hell, and a Newfoundlander who warns him about the local variant of the Abominable Snowman. By turns earthy and lyrical, LAST PLACES is an ebullient celebration of the exotic North.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2000","offers":[{"title":"Last Places A Journey in the North \/ Very Good","offer_id":56008668807460,"sku":"9780618082483VG","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_8dd31a1d-50c5-4f8f-8174-37955332116c.jpg?v=1786461175","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780618082483","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
