Jean Malaurie, geographer, explorer of the Far North and publisher, has died
Aged 101, Jean Malaurie was until 2015 at the head of a collection – still published today by Plon – which renewed the anthropological view and writing: “Human Earth”.

Published today at 3:49 p.m.

One day in 1951, Jean Malaurie saw “a world shift from the stone age to the atomic age” . He had just arrived, with his Inuit “comrades” , at the top of a glacier, in the northwest of Greenland. One of the comrades touched his shoulder. “Look, stranger! » Below, in the Thule plain, stretched “a city of sheds and tents, of sheet metal and aluminum, dazzling in the sun in the smoke and dust ,” he told Le Monde in 1993 . The American army deployed the installations of a military base in this place which was one of the most deserted in the world, 1,500 kilometers from the North Pole.

From this “unbelievable” , “Shakespearean” spectacle , which he never ceased to evoke in books, documentaries, interviews, comes a large part, undoubtedly the most essential, of this long adventure that was the life of the geographer, explorer and publisher Jean Malaurie, who died in Dieppe at the age of 101, as announced by his son, Guillaume, on Monday February 5. If only because it pushed him to write a successful story, The Last Kings of Thule (Plon, 1955), where he recounts the months he had just spent, alone, among the Inuit and protests against the “colonialist shock” represented by the appearance of the American military. This book was the first in a collection – still published today by Plon – which would renew the anthropological view and writing: “Human Earth"...
