Fridtjof Nansen. Mees ja maailm

Rate this book
Fridtjof Nansenist sai Norra rahvuskangelane juba kahekümne seitsme aastaselt, kui ta ületas esimese inimesena suuskadel Gröönimaa. Tema teine suurem polaarekspeditsioon tegi temast tõelise maailmakuulsuse. Ta ei jõudnud küll põhjapoolusele, mis oli eesmärk, kuid siiski kaugemale põhja kui ükski inimene enne teda. Aga see oli kõigest algus.
Nansen oli mitmekülgne ja andekas inimene – hulljulge maadeavastaja, teedrajav teadlane, tubli diplomaat, kirjanik ja kõnemees ning väsimatu väikerahvaste, sõjavangide, näljahädaliste ja põgenike õiguste nimel võitleja, kes sai oma humanitaartegevuse eest Nobeli rahupreemia. Nanseni karisma avaldas sügavat mõju nii kuningatele kui ka naistele. Paljud soovisid teda näha Norra peaministri ja isegi presidendina.
Kuid Nansen ei olnud sugugi veatu. Tal oli raske keskenduda ühele asjale – või naisele. Ta ei leidnud aega oma pere jaoks ning oli sageli üleolev, terava keelega ja tujukas.
„Fridtjof Nansen. Mees ja maailm” on haarav jutustus inimlikust kangelasest, kellest sai Euroopa südametunnistuse sümbol.
Raamatu autor Carl Emil Vogt on kaitsnud Oslo ülikoolis doktoriväitekirja Nanseni humanitaartegevusest ning avaldanud raamatu Nanseni tööst Venemaa näljahädaliste abistamisel.

The book is mediocre but if you a novice and do not know anything about Nansen - this will be good one to start with. Actually I became curious about Nansens own books after reading this one. If you can skip sentences like "Nansen was greeted by whole Drøbak, and people across Oslo fjord were waiving flags" and see who Nansen really was - as author touches slightly with much sarcasm. He was first real politician - actually he was a guy who convinced Danish prince to became king of Norway in 1905. And further his role as founder of United Nations and scientist a really great. His political views becomes more and more interesting in the today world. He believed that small, well educated, healthy nations are less seduced by forces of communism and fascism and so will not get in trouble and will secure the future of the world. He believed in Russia but became disillusioned by his travel and reports after bolshevics seizured power.

Interessant lesning om Fridjof Nansen. Key takeaway: det de gjorde var faktisk sinnsykt.
