James Langdon enjoys his practice of hunting bears in the forests
of Canada, convinced that there are few greater thrills. However,
as he sets out on a hunt for a towering grizzly bear, Langdon makes
a stunning discovery. Different from the start, the hunt begins
after the giant grizzly, who is named Thor, is injured by a hunter.
While nursing his wounds, Thor meets a young black bear cub, who
had recently been orphaned. Taking the young cub under his care,
the two bears enjoy the peaceful riches of the Canadian wilderness,
picking berries, fishing, and meeting other animals. However,
Langdon is on their trail, and determined to kill Thor, hungry for
the acclaim and the thrill of defeating such a large animal. But,
when the three finally cross paths, they each find themselves
surprised by their own instincts. With gorgeous description,
surprising humor, and complex characters, James Oliver Curwood’s
The Grizzly King: A Romance of the Wild is a unique masterpiece.
First published in 1916, this reflective adventure novel documents
Curwood’s change of mind regarding conservation. Once an avid
hunter himself, Curwood wrote The Grizzly King: A Romance of the
Wild to encourage others to appreciate nature without harming it.
Featuring a rare point of view, Curwood created a gripping and
beautiful tale that considers multiple perspectives. The Grizzly
King: A Romance of the Wild inspired a film adaptation titled The
Bear, and remains to a fan-favorite of the prolific author’s
work. This edition of The Grizzly King: A Romance of the Wild by
James Oliver Curwood now features a new, eye-catching cover design
and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With
these accommodations, this edition of The Grizzly King: A Romance
of the Wild crafts an accessible and pleasant reading experience
for modern audiences while restoring the original beauty of James
Oliver Curwood’s literature.
