Fridtjof Nansen. The great humanist. Marit Fossa

Fridtjof Nansen was a grandiose figure, great in everything: a great polar traveler, an equally great scientist and researcher, an excellent artist and champion-ski. Nansen could become a laureate of the Nobel Prize in some field of science (physiology or medicine), but he became the Nobel laureate of the World Prize. It was as a peacekeeper, a humanist and a fighter for people's rights that the international community noted him, and it was this part of his work for the benefit of mankind that was least known to the general public, giving way to the glory of Nansen-traveler.

Author Marit Fossa - an employee of the United Nations - talks about how Nansen performed his work of the diplomat, how many lives and fates he saved, how, with his authority, honesty, openness, he gained confidence in the leaders of the states - not for the glory, which he had enough, but so enough, but so enough, but so enough, but so enough For disinterested and selfless assistance to people who are in trouble.

The introduction to the book is written by Antoniu Guterry, General Secretary of the United Nations.
