E-text prepared by Wilelmina Mallière and Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders "Children of the Frost" by Jack London is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the harsh Arctic landscapes, the stories explore the lives, struggles, and culture of the indigenous peoples of the North, as well as the experiences of explorers and settlers who encounter them. The opening of the collection introduces the character Avery Van Brunt, a professor from the Geological Survey leading an expedition into the wilderness. He discovers a village of Eskimo tribes while reflecting on his journey with a group of men who accompany him. Van Brunt's arrival is met with a mix of curiosity and suspicion from the villagers, hinting at the complex interactions between the indigenous people and outsiders. As he engages with John Fairfax, a white man who has assimilated into the village over the past five years, themes of identity, belonging, and the clash of cultures are prevalent. The opening sets the stage for a deep exploration of the characters' connections to the land and to each other in a rugged and unforgiving environment.
