Jørn Riel was born in Denmark in 1931. After having spent sixteen years in Greenland as an ethnographer, he has published more than twenty books, notably his famous Arctic tales. All his fiction is set in the frozen and marvelous landscapes of Greenland, yet it explores darker themes such as those of solitude, extreme cold and survival in this powerful and hostile environment. These days, Jørn Riel lives in Malaysia so that he can ‘thaw out’, as he likes to say.

Bibliography: Le Roi Oscar, quatre racontars arctiques (Gaïa )
