E-text prepared by Suzanne Shell, Project Gutenberg Beginners Projects, Andrea Ball, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Grizzly King: A Romance of the Wild" by James Oliver Curwood is a novel written in the early 20th century. This narrative delves into the life of a massive grizzly bear named Thor, exploring the themes of nature, survival, and the intricate relationships within the animal kingdom. The story is intertwined with human perspectives, particularly that of Jim Langdon, a hunter who finds himself captivated by Thor's world and the realization that there is more to hunting than the act of killing. The opening of the book introduces Thor, who surveys his territory in the Canadian Rockies, exhibiting both curiosity and caution as he encounters a strange scent in the air. While he is portrayed as a powerful and regal creature, the chapter hints at deeper themes of life, instinct, and the impending arrival of humanity into his peaceful wilderness. Thor's solitary existence is interrupted by Jim Langdon and his companion, who are determined to hunt a grizzly bear. As they track Thor through the mountains, the narrative sets the stage for a collision between the raw power of nature and human ambition, while presenting the bear as a symbol of the wild's majesty and mystery.
