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.
