Editor's Note:
Carl Lumholtz è un trentenne di Lillehammer senza prospettive laureato in teologia, ma è bravo a sparare agli animali e impagliarli, e ha qualche contatto con i musei. è per questo che parte per l'Australia nel 1880, con l'intento di catturare e mandare in Norvegia quanta più fauna imbalsamata possibile. Così inizia la sua carriera di esploratore, che lo renderà famoso in tutto il mondo e un eroe in patria, protagonista di una vita che «somiglia a un romanzo d'avventura per ragazzi»: quattro anni in Australia, quasi due decenni tra Stati Uniti e Messico, due esplorazioni nel Borneo. Ma in viaggio Lumholtz si scopre etnografo, pioniere dell'«osservazione partecipante», e nonostante il retaggio eurocentrico e i rudimenti da frenologo scrive libri preziosi sulle esperienze tra le popolazioni gli aborigeni del Queensland, i rarámuri e i wixárika del Messico, i dayak del Borneo. Cosa resta oggi di quel mondo? Morten Strøksnes sovrappone il suo sguardo a quello dell'illustre concittadino e segue il suo viaggio. Quelli che per Lumholtz erano barbari da civilizzare, destinati a soccombere all'inesorabile avanzata della modernità occidentale, a un occhio contemporaneo appaiono come testimoni di culture depositari di un sapere inestimabile alle prese con i lasciti del colonialismo, da tempo in lotta con l'espropriazione dei territori ancestrali, il razzismo e il cambiamento climatico. Facendosi strada nelle foreste più fitte, partecipando a riti a base di peyote e schivando velenosi alberi australiani, Strøksnes fa i conti e ammenda con un passato ingombrante e si misura con un esploratore dimenticato, uomo del suo tempo eppure precursore del futuro, in un reportage monumentale che omaggia l'ingegno umano e la sua capacità di comunione con la natura.
