Produced by David T. Jones, Alex White & the online Project Gutenberg team at http://www.pgdpcanada.net "Angels' Shoes and Other Stories" by Marjorie L. C. Pickthall is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The opening story, "Angels' Shoes," introduces the character Buck Brennan, a rugged man navigating through the jungles along the Horado River, who encounters themes of survival, identity, and fate. It hints at a rich exploration of relationships and personal trials, set against a vivid natural backdrop. The opening of "Angels' Shoes" sets a captivating scene where the Horado River meets the ocean, filled with haunting imagery and a sense of foreboding. Buck Brennan, traveling through the dense jungle, saves a man and a native girl after he finds them adrift near his ship, the Dorotea Dixon. As they are brought on board, Brennan's rugged exterior clashes with the nuances of compassion and emerging connection. The narrative suggests that this encounter may catalyze a deeper exploration of Buck's character and the tumultuous past of the lives he intersects with, particularly as he grapples with questions of belonging and moral ambiguity within the lush yet perilous jungle environment.
