Book, Author
Reviewed At
Morning Study Club
"Kabloona" by Gontran de
Poncins, French author, was re
viewed by Mrs. Rawles Moore
at the Thursday Morning Study
club meeting at the Girls' Com
munity clubhouse. Mrs. J. C.
Boyle gave interesting highlights
from the author's life.
Born In southeast France in
1910 de Poncins Is a descendent
of the greatest of French sages
and traveled the world over to
find men who would not fight
but share their life In a friendly
manner. He traveled In the
South Sea islands, India, China.
Arabia and finally to the arctic
circle at King Williamland
where he gathered material for
his popular book.
Mrs. Boyle said that his Eng
lish was copious and fanciful and
although educated highly be
gathered much information from
the sailors, trappers and other
interesting characters. In 1940
he Joined the French army and
since that time has not been
heard from. It is said of de
Poncins, "It can only be hoped
that his book is a cornerstone of
a writer's career and not a
monument to a man who has
vanished."
Speaking of the book Mrs.
Moore described it as an imagin
ative story based on realism in
a setting north of the arctic
circle. De Poncins lived with
these 23 humans on a large is
land untouched by civilization
and gathered a "gallery of por
traits" for his book. Suicide,
murder, wife trading and the
Eskimo social code at first hand
experience formed a full diary
