The Faroe Islands are a group of 18 small islands located in the North Atlantic Ocean, between Scotland and Iceland. The islands are known for their rugged natural beauty, including steep cliffs, rolling hills, and expansive fjords. The islands have a population of around 50,000 people, with the majority living in the capital city of Tórshavn. Despite their small size, the Faroe Islands have a rich history and culture. The islands were first settled by the Viking people in the 9th century, and today, they maintain strong ties to their Viking heritage. The Faroe Islands are also known for their traditional fishing industry, which has been a vital part of the island's economy for centuries. Visitors to the Faroe Islands can explore ancient ruins, take part in traditional music and dance, and enjoy the stunning natural scenery that make the islands one of Europe's best-kept secrets.

Rising steeply in austere beauty from the sea midway between Shetland and Iceland, the Faroe Islands appear as a dark, inhospitable mountain mass. Yet in actuality, the landscape of the islands is one of extreme contrasts, with the lush green of the cultivated land and mountain pastures set against the spectacular black, grey and brown of the peaks and crags. The Faroes boast a growing population (currently larger than Orkney and Shetland combined), a thriving economy and a fascinating history that stretches back to the Viking period. The Faroe Islands was first published by John Murray in 1991, and the book is illustrated with Gunnie Moberg's photographs which capture both the austere grandeur and intimate beauty of this extraordinary and alluring place. Dealing not only with the history of the islands, it also introduces the geology and natural history the culture, place-names language and folklore, in particular the Faereyinga Saga (Saga of the Faroe Islanders), the only written source about the islands which survives from the Viking Age, and the main industry of its inhabitants, fishing and farming.

The Danish Academy in Rome years ago suggested the idea to compare, from an historical, political, ethnical, geographical and economical point of view, the far away situation of the Northern Atlantic Faroe Islands, where I carried out a socio-cultural survey, with a comparable Italian situation. That proposal was really very interesting and stimulating. So much that it could be transformed, then, in an international seminar, today in this book... After, naturally, having extensively revised, updated and integrated that work. Also by adding 105 colour & b.w. images and 90 footnotes. As anthropologists, we are well prepared to compare cultural realities belonging to more or less distant societies of the world. So, I had the wonderful and amazing opportunity to introduce the situation of Carnia, a small region of the Alps, in North-Eastern Italy. The task to compare these two worlds worked in that occasion very well. Easily I went through things, situations, "valley and sea islands", histories and stories. So, at the end I could properly speak of Two Archipelagos and Two Islands at the mirror: Sea-ones (Faroe and Mykines), Land-ones (Carnia and Sauris). To better compare both realities, I had singled out some useful indicators: isolation; transport and communication difficulties; presence and persistence in the centuries of their own languages; poverty and past deprivation; emigrations; same demographic consistency; great communities crisis of yesterday; importance and vitality of their specific cultural traditions; economies connected to the habitat; strong relation man-environment; persistence of a rich spontaneous architectural apparatus; strong community identities; administrative autonomies; farming; climatic similarities (heavy rainfalls); tendency towards the growing up of a sort of selected tourism; strong presence of oral tradition and of "evening fire tales", as ways to transmit cultural elements and folk-lore to the incoming new generations. The book has the following basic structure: a) an historical, geo-climatically, administrative, ethno-anthropological and linguistic introduction to both Faroe Islands and Carnia; b) the singling-out of the ethno-cultural identities of the two communities: Faroe, a small community-nation; Carnia, a strong regional identity. c) the two communities amid tradition and change: - the Faroe: the bygd and the traditional self-sufficient community economy (fishing, farming, cultivation, fowling, grindadrap). The changing economy connected to: 1) the sea: deep fishing, ship-building; 2) tending towards the new frontiers of tourism; - Carnia: a modern post-industrial economy, which keeps still strong ties with the mountain habitat (wood industry and handicraft, farming, cultivations), but is tending towards a stronger touristic development; d) the Great Faroe Crisis of the 1990s and emigration. Carnia, land of centuries old temporary and permanent emigration (till the 1960s and 1970s); e) two case studies in comparison: the isolated communities of Mykines (Faroe) and Sauris (Carnia). Isolation has strongly affected both the communities of the sea-island of Mykines and of the land-island of the valley of Sauris. Both places are heavily menaced by strong depopulation. Both are looking for a new chance to survive in a future selected tourism. Both are still experiencing a strong relation man-environment based upon respect. Both their peoples may tell outsiders their long, dramatic, life histories. Made of hardship for islanders and for somari ("donkeys") - the Sauris men -. Both have experienced weeks, sometimes months, or no contact at all with the outside world. Sauris it is, not only an "island" and highland within the archipelago Carnia. As a matter of fact it represents also an ethno-cultural and linguistic separateness from any other parts of Carnia. Because it is a German-speaking community, founded in the XIII century by Bavarian farmers.

Following the natural cycle of the year, The Land of Maybe captures the essence of the 18 mysterious Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic. Here, a fast disappearing world is home to a close-knit society where just 50,000 people share Viking roots and a unique language. Buffeted by the elements in a volatile environment, the Faroese still hunt seabirds, herd pilot whales and eat mutton fermented in the salt winds that howl across dark fjords. A passionate naturalist, Ecott immerses himself in this starkly beautiful landscape, revealing a way of life that maintains a deep connection to the past. The Land of Maybe offers a refuge from the freneticism of the modern world, and confronts some of the biggest challenges we face in trying to live in peace with nature.
