Under the Great Bear
Produced by Al Haines
"Under the Great Bear" by Kirk Munroe is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the experiences of Cabot Grant, a recently graduated engineer, as he embarks on a journey filled with unexpected challenges and adventures. Set against the backdrop of northern waters and a backdrop rich in natural beauty, the narrative explores themes of personal growth, ambition, and the impact of one’s choices. At the start of the narrative, Cabot Grant is reflecting on his uncertainties after graduation, feeling inadequate compared to his classmates who have secured promising jobs. After a conversation with his guardian, President Hepburn, he chooses an unexpected path when he is given the chance to join a sailing expedition with wealthy classmate Thorpe Walling. However, fate intervenes when the steamer "Lavinia" meets a catastrophic fate, leaving Cabot as one of the few survivors as he finds himself alone on a life raft. The opening chapters establish a blend of adventure and self-discovery, leading into Cabot's quest for survival and his ensuing encounters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
