{"product_id":"atlantic-cowboy","title":"Atlantic Cowboy","description":"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 \nbreath-taking as it is harsh. Fishing is the main industry of the territory and although it has \nmodernised in many ways, it is still bound by tradition and mainly run by men. Whilst the men go to \nsea, the young women are drawn abroad for study or training in Copenhagen or other European \ncities. More than half of those who leave never return and as a result the population of 54,000 has a \ngender deficit of around 2000 women—the deficit is 10% among women of reproductive age. \nThe photographs in the book depict the vastness of the land, sky and seascape against which \nthe human presence in dwarfed. They show the domestic interiors and family units, birds being \nprocessed and sheep being slaughtered, social celebrations, men at sea, hot tubs and hours \nof physical graft. These details reveal the harshness of life in the territory alongside steadfast \nendurance, companionship and community.","brand":"GOST Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40526582612051,"sku":"","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781910401880_d8418ed3-6258-4e81-b6e0-6184a887b877.jpg?v=1765233938","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/atlantic-cowboy","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
