Beskrivelse
"The Master of Silence - A Romance" is a novel written by American author Irving Bacheller, first published in 1892. Irving Bacheller was known for his romantic and adventure novels, and "The Master of Silence" is one of his earlier works.
The story is set in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York and is a romantic adventure novel with elements of historical fiction. It centers around the character of John Thurman, who is a lumberman, hunter, and guide in the wilderness. Thurman is known for his remarkable skill in navigating the Adirondacks and his ability to survive and thrive in the rugged wilderness.
The novel explores Thurman's adventures and encounters in the wilderness, including his interactions with other characters and the challenges he faces in the untamed natural environment. Throughout the story, there is a strong sense of the wild and untamed beauty of the Adirondacks, which serves as a backdrop to the unfolding narrative.
The title "The Master of Silence" alludes to Thurman's deep connection with the natural world and his ability to find peace and understanding in solitude and silence. The novel combines elements of romance, adventure, and an appreciation for the majesty of nature.
While not as well-known as some of Bacheller's later works, "The Master of Silence" showcases his storytelling skills and his ability to vividly capture the spirit of the American wilderness in the late 19th century. It is a novel that celebrates the rugged individualism and connection to nature that were characteristic of the time and region.
