Bull is a biographical account written in the early 20th century that details the remarkable life of the Norwegian explorer and scientist Fridtjof Nansen. This work likely targets young readers, inspiring them with tales of adventure and the indomitable spirit of exploration. The book chronicles Nansen's formative years, emphasizing his early love for nature, sports, and research, setting the stage for his later accomplishments in polar exploration. The opening of the book introduces readers to Nansen's upbringing in the picturesque Norwegian countryside, highlighting his adventurous spirit and a childhood filled with dramatic incidents that ultimately shaped his character. It paints a vivid picture of his home – Store Fröen – and recounts various anecdotes from his boyhood that highlight his curiosity, determination, and a penchant for pushing boundaries.
