"Huntingtower" by John Buchan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book introduces readers to Dickson McCunn, a retired provision merchant, who embarks on a spontaneous journey of adventure and introspection after selling his shop. As he navigates the Scottish countryside, he hopes to discover not only picturesque landscapes but also a sense of purpose and renewal in his life. The beginning of "Huntingtower" establishes a vivid contrast between the mundane existence of Mr. McCunn and his yearning for adventure. In the opening, McCunn is initially captivated by the beauty of spring and reflects on his newfound freedom after selling his business. However, this sense of liberating joy soon morphs into a deeper introspection about purpose. As he sets off for the countryside, he feels invigorated yet apprehensive about this new chapter. The narrative foreshadows encounters with various characters, including a mysterious poet, John Heritage, and hints at a larger adventure that lies ahead, filled with potential threats and opportunities for self-discovery.
