The Faith of Men

Meer over het boek

The narrator grapples with his integrity and societal expectations while recounting the stories of Thomas Stevens, a complex figure characterized as a "mighty hunter." Initially distancing himself from Stevens, the narrator reflects on his own position, responsibilities, and the implications of endorsing Stevens' tales. Despite his reservations, he chooses to withhold judgment, acknowledging Stevens' greater stature and the unpredictability of his own conclusions. This internal conflict highlights themes of identity, morality, and the struggle between personal values and community standards.
