Metsäsissi: Kuvaus Amerikan Lännestä
Abridged translation of: Le coureur des bois, ou, Les chercheurs d'or.
Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen
"Metsäsissi: Kuvaus Amerikan Lännestä" by Gabriel Ferry is an adventurous novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a historically rich setting, focusing on the life and adventures of José Unikeo, a vigilant border guard who becomes embroiled in the tumultuous and dangerous events of early 19th-century America, including encounters with smugglers and threats from both individuals and nature. The narrative not only captures thrilling escapades but also emphasizes themes of courage, honor, and the harsh realities faced by those seeking wealth in the wilderness. The beginning of the book introduces us to José Unikeo, a young and seemingly indifferent soldier stationed on the rocky coast of Biscay, where he vigilantly guards against smuggling during a perilous time for Spain. As he navigates through the cold and ominous night, José's senses are heightened by the lurking dangers, especially when he encounters a suspicious group approaching by boat. The tension escalates as he is forced to confront a mysterious intruder, leading to an unexpected negotiation that reveals his awareness of potential threats. The opening sets up a compelling adventure filled with suspense, character complexity, and the vivid backdrop of American wilderness, drawing readers into a world where danger and survival intertwine.
