Description:
Read the book that inspired to major motion
picture.
A thrilling tale of betrayal and revenge set
against the nineteenth-century American frontier, the astonishing story of
real-life trapper and frontiersman Hugh Glass.
The year is 1823, and the trappers of the
Rocky Mountain Fur Company live a brutal frontier life. Hugh Glass is among the
company’s finest men, an experienced frontiersman and an expert tracker. But
when a scouting mission puts him face-to-face with a grizzly bear, he is
viciously mauled and not expected to survive. Two company men are dispatched to
stay behind and tend to Glass before he dies. When the men rob and abandon him
instead, Glass is driven to survive by one desire: revenge. With shocking grit
and determination, Glass sets out, crawling at first, across hundreds of miles
of uncharted American frontier. Based on a true story, The Revenant is a
remarkable tale of obsession, the human will stretched to its limits, and the
lengths that one man will go to for retribution.
“The makings of a western classic, Michael
Punke's novel The Revenant provides muscle and sinew to the vengeful and epic
tale of mountain man Hugh Glass that even a sow Grizzly couldn't rend asunder.”
– Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire novels.
“One of the great tales of the
nineteenth-century West.” – The Salt Lake Tribune.
