中文简介：

法罗群岛是丹麦王国的领土，位于苏格兰西北320公里处，大约在挪威和冰岛之间。该地区风景优美，但极为严酷。渔业是该地区的主要产业，虽然现代化程度较高，但仍受传统限制，由男性主导经营。当男性出海捕鱼时，年轻女性会前往欧洲城市学习或培训，并有相当一部分人不再回来，因此该地区54,000人的人口中大约有2000名女性，其中育龄妇女的比例为10%。书中的照片展示了广阔土地、天空和海景，与之相比，人类的存在就显得微不足道了。照片显示了家庭内部和单元、处理的鸟类和宰杀的羊、社会庆祝活动、海上的男性以及体力劳动等细节，这些细节揭示了该地区生活的艰辛、坚定的耐力、社区和同伴关系。

英文简介：

The Faroe Islands, a territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, are located 320 kilometres northnorthwest of Scotland, and about halfway between Norway and Iceland. The landscape is as breath-taking as it is harsh. Fishing is the main industry of the territory and although it has modernised in many ways, it is still bound by tradition and mainly run by men. Whilst the men go to sea, the young women are drawn abroad for study or training in Copenhagen or other European cities. More than half of those who leave never return and as a result the population of 54,000 has a gender deficit of around 2000 women―the deficit is 10% among women of reproductive age. The photographs in the book depict the vastness of the land, sky and seascape against which the human presence in dwarfed. They show the domestic interiors and family units, birds being processed and sheep being slaughtered, social celebrations, men at sea, hot tubs and hours of physical graft. These details reveal the harshness of life in the territory alongside steadfast endurance, companionship and community.
