| Summary | "The River's End" by James Oliver Curwood is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two men, Derwent Conniston, a member of the Northwest Mounted Police, and Keith, an outlaw who has captured Conniston's interest due to their striking physical resemblance. The novel explores themes of morality, justice, and identity, as Conniston finds himself grappling with the implications of his duty versus the kinship he feels towards Keith. The opening of "The River's End" sets a suspenseful and introspective tone, as Conniston reflects on his long pursuit of Keith, a man he was tasked to bring in for a crime. They find themselves in a tiny cabin surrounded by the fierce arctic storm, where Conniston is near death from an illness. The dynamics of their relationship become complex as Conniston discovers that Keith, despite being his quarry, has been trying to nurse him back to health. As Conniston discusses his impending death and the burden of bringing in Keith alive, he proposes a daring exchange of identities. The narrative quickly escalates with tension and the question of morality, friendship, and sacrifice hanging in the balance. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
