Summary: "The Trail of the Elk" by Mikkjel Fønhus is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work delves into themes of nature, mythology, and the connections between humans and animals, centering on the enigmatic character of a wizard elk named Rauten. The story begins with Gaupa, a rugged man known as "The Lynx," who roams the wilds, following elk tracks with his faithful dog Bjönn. As Gaupa engages with the rich, mystical landscape, the narrative hints at deeper themes surrounding life, death, and transformation. The opening of the novel establishes the picturesque and haunting setting of Ré Valley, where the tranquility of nature contrasts with underlying tensions. Readers are introduced to the elk calf with human-like eyes, which Gaupa encounters early on, foreshadowing the book’s exploration of otherworldly elements. The narrative hints at Gaupa's past interactions with a mad Swede, whose belief in supernatural returns raises questions about the boundaries of life and the possibility of reincarnation as an animal. As Gaupa becomes increasingly intertwined with the elk’s fate, the opening chapter sets the stage for an exploration of intricate relationships between man, beast, and the mystical forces of nature surrounding them.
