A gripping tale of survival, revenge, and resilience set in the harsh American frontier of the early 19th century. The story follows Hugh Glass, a fur trapper who is savagely mauled by a bear and left for dead by his expedition team, including the treacherous John Fitzgerald. Against all odds, Glass endures unimaginable pain and challenges, driven by a burning desire for vengeance. Punke vividly captures the brutality of nature and the rugged spirit of early pioneers, blending historical detail with raw emotion. It’s a powerful exploration of human endurance and the will to survive.
