"Chichaco Ballads" is a collection of poems by the Canadian poet Robert William Service, which tells about the adventures and impressions of the author during his travels in the northern regions of Canada and Alaska during the gold rush. In this book, Service embodies in poetry his observations around winter glaciers, boundless spaces and the cruelty of nature. His ballads are full of strong imagery, dashes of drama and devotion to the wild places he visited. This collection not only offers the reader to experience the flavor of the northern regions, but also calls for a great adventure and self-discovery in the heart of wild nature.
