Summary: "Les chasseurs de loups" by James Oliver Curwood is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the vast Canadian wilderness, it follows young hunters Wabi and Roderick, as they navigate both the thrilling and dangerous aspects of life in the Great White North while grappling with encounters with wolves and conflict with local Indigenous people. The opening of the story paints a vivid picture of a biting winter night in the Canadian wilderness, where an elk is fatally wounded and pursued by a pack of wolves. As the hush of the snow-covered landscape is broken by desperate animal cries, two young hunters, Wabi (of Indigenous descent) and Roderick (a white boy), find themselves in a life-threatening situation after being attacked by rogue Native Americans. Roderick, injured and exhausted, is carried by Wabi to safety where they strategize their next moves, evoking a sense of camaraderie and the need for survival against both the natural wildlife and human threats. The narrative sets the stage for their daring ventures into the wild and the complex relationships between cultural identities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
