Description
Set against the unforgiving yet majestic landscape of Alaska, James A. Michener's epic novel explores the human struggle to survive and thrive in one of America's most remote frontiers.
The story spans centuries, from the earliest inhabitants to the present day, weaving together key moments in Alaska's history: its acquisition by the United States, the gold rush, the construction of the Alcan Highway, and the growth of the salmon industry. Michener's vividly detailed scenes and well-developed characters bring this complex narrative to life.
With exhaustive historical research and a masterful touch, Michener creates a spellbinding portrait of a community fighting to establish its place in the world. This is a story that will appeal to readers with its rich and foreboding tale of human endurance.
