E-text prepared by Tapio Riikonen
"Jack Howlandin seikkailut" by James Oliver Curwood is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work follows the journey of Jack Howland, a young engineer tasked with building a railroad through the harsh, uncharted northern wilderness of Canada. The narrative explores themes of adventure, ambition, and the encounter with both the natural world and mysterious characters, particularly focusing on Howland's encounters with a beautiful girl and the potential dangers lurking in the wilderness. At the start of the story, Jack Howland is filled with a sense of adventure as he gazes upon the icy landscapes of northern Canada. He contemplates his new role as the engineer to construct the Hudson Bay railroad, reflecting on his ambitious journey from Chicago to this desolate yet captivating setting. Just before he prepares for his departure, he becomes entranced by a mysterious girl he sees outside his hotel window, leading him to feel an inexplicable connection to her. As he ventures into the night, he is suddenly attacked, and in the ensuing chaos, the girl appears to be somehow connected to the danger surrounding him. This dramatic beginning sets the stage for Howland's exploration of love, treachery, and the wild land ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
