The Riverman

Meer over het boek

Set in 1872, the story unfolds along a river bend near a dam, surrounded by dense hardwood forests and a small clearing. The landscape is vividly described, with the first signs of spring and the contrasting beauty of white pines and spruces in the background. A strong wind creates ripples on the pond's surface, while logs form a barrier at the river's mouth, transforming the waterway into a walkable path. The rich natural imagery sets the stage for a tale that intertwines human activity with the vibrant wilderness.
