Об электронной книге

It's a sweeping moral tale of right and wrong...how even choices made when there seems to be no other option can haunt us for the rest of our lives. It's set in the Canadian prairies in the early 1900s, and you will feel the sting of snow and taste the hunger of desperation as you read. (Goodreads)

Об авторе

Harold Bindloss (1866-1945) was a prolific British author whose adventure novels and romances captured the spirit of the early 20th century. Born in Liverpool, Bindloss initially pursued a career in business, which took him to various parts of the British Empire, including Canada and West Africa. These travels deeply influenced his writing, infusing his works with authentic settings and a keen sense of place.Bindloss's literary career began relatively late, but he quickly became known for his vivid storytelling and robust characters. His novels often explored themes of perseverance, moral integrity, and the rugged beauty of untamed landscapes, resonating with readers during a time of rapid societal change and imperial expansion. His portrayal of the Canadian wilderness, in particular, earned him a dedicated readership in both the UK and North America.Despite his popularity, Bindloss was not without controversy. His depictions of colonial life and indigenous peoples have been critiqued for their imperialist overtones, reflecting the complex and often problematic attitudes of his era. Nevertheless, his works provide valuable insights into the mindset and cultural dynamics of the early 20th century.Bindloss's influence extended to contemporary writers who admired his ability to blend adventure with romance and moral dilemmas. His narratives often championed the idea of the "self-made man," a revolutionary concept at the time, emphasizing individual effort and ethical conduct over social status.Today, Harold Bindloss is remembered as a significant figure in early 20th-century literature, whose adventurous tales continue to offer a window into the past while sparking the imaginations of modern readers.
