Tentang eBook ini
“Sick Heart River” is a powerful and compelling novel originally published in 1941. It is John Buchan's last novel which was completed days before his death in 1940. It follows a dying protagonist, Edward Leithen, who confronts the question of the meaning of life while in the Canadian wilderness. Edward Leithen is perhaps John Buchan's most autobiographical character and here Leithen is an old man given a year to live, he chooses to help a friend find a man in the wild rugged interior of Canada. Vast sweeping landscapes are expertly described by Buchan using his own experiences of travelling around Canada. John Buchan (1875 – 1940) was a Scottish historian, novelist, and politician who served as Governor General of Canada, the 15th since Canadian Confederation. He was a vocal advocate of literacy and the development of Canadian culture, receiving a state funeral in the country before his ashes were returned to Britain. Other notable works by this author include: “The African Colony” (1903) and “The Moon Endureth” (1912). This volume will appeal to those who have read an enjoyed other works by this author, and it is not to be missed by the discerning collectors of vintage literature. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
