Críticas
"Icebreaker sails with a phlegmatic Finnish crew into threatening and threatened polar waters... Clare’s witty prose, filled with vivid descriptions, bears witness to the melting skin of our fragile planet and all that its loss might mean for our souls" (Philip Hoare New Statesman Books of the Year)
"Clare has a gift for pinning to the page all that comes his way. His is a joy in framing with such precision and flair that it is the opposite of indulgent, allowing the reader to share in his own marvellous encounters... nimble, vital, unexpectedly affecting" (Stephanie Cross Observer)
"Icebreaker has many of the pleasures of classic travel writing: a pure sense of visiting another world in the company of an eloquent guide. But this is not a backward-looking book, and its warning for the future is clear... The Met Office estimates the Arctic could be seasonally ice-free by the 2040s. It may not be many decades, then, until Clare’s travelogue is a record of a vanished world" (Erica Wagner Financial Times)
"Light fills his writing... Mr Clare is a great enjoyer -- of people, landscape, and above all of language" (Economist)
"Salted with excellent topographical language... Clare has an ear and an eye for words... one can't have enough of the big white" (Sara Wheeler Spectator)
"A voyage into the Arctic on an icebreaking ship with one of Britain's best writers of nature and place. You feel the cold leaping off the pages" (Big Issue (Books of the Year))
"Clare's prose is so brilliantly evocative and so rich with awe, this book could sit as comfortably next to Grimm's fairytales as it does in the travel section... With an elegiac Keatsian sensibility, he depicts "the making and melting of ice" so seductively that reaching the end of this wonderful book feels like stumbling out of a Finnish sauna into a cold shower" (Jane Graham Big Issue)
"Offers some telling and often amusing insights into the Finnish way of life while at the same time explaining how the work of an icebreaker crew fits into the increasingly complex geopolitical picture in the far north... he writes with perceptiveness and precision about the ways in which global warming are already starting to change the geography of the region... powerfully evocative" (Roger Cox Scotsman)
"A hilarious, off-beat travelogue in the tradition of Eric Newby and Redmond O’Hanlon. Warm and witty, Clare catches an important moment in the unfolding of climate change, and shows why we should all pay attention to what's happening in the ice" (Gavin Francis)
"Captivating... Clare himself is a charming companion for the reader. His narrative encompasses both the past and a highly charged now – Finnish history interwoven with instantaneous thrills as the ship grinds and slides through a world that most of us will never experience... a delightful mix of mariner-rime reportage, local colour and Finnish history" (Roy Wilkinson Caught By The River)
Reseña del editor
'We are celebrating a hundred years since independence this year: how would you like to travel on a government icebreaker?'
A message from the Finnish embassy launches Horatio Clare on a voyage around an extraordinary country and an unearthly place, the frozen Bay of Bothnia, just short of the Arctic circle. Travelling with the crew of Icebreaker Otso, Horatio, whose last adventure saw him embedded on Maersk container vessels for the bestseller Down to the Sea in Ships, discovers stories of Finland, of her mariners and of ice.
Finland is an enigmatic place, famous for its educational miracle, healthcare and gender equality – as well as Nokia, Angry Birds, saunas, questionable cuisine and deep taciturnity. Aboard Otso Horatio gets to know the men who make up her crew, and explores Finland’s history and character. Surrounded by the extraordinary colours and conditions of a frozen sea, he also comes to understand something of the complexity and fragile beauty of ice, a near-miraculous substance which cools the planet, gives the stars their twinkle and which may hold all our futures in its crystals.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
