| Summary | "Susien saaliina" by Jack London is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the harsh and unforgiving wilderness of the North, developing themes of survival and the struggle between humans and nature. It follows two main characters, Bill and Henrik, as they navigate the relentless cold and threats from wild wolves while searching for safety and sustenance. The opening of the book presents a vivid and bleak landscape where Bill and Henrik move cautiously through a wintry wilderness. The narrative opens with a description of the dark, lifeless forest, where an ominous silence sets the stage for the brothers' perilous journey. As they haul a sled through the snow with a deceased companion inside, the tension builds as they hear the distant howls of wolves, signaling danger. The two men, wrapped in heavy furs, are acutely aware of the precariousness of their situation, contemplating the eerie atmosphere and the impending threats posed by hunger and the lurking predators. Through sparse dialogue and careful observations, the beginning paints a gripping picture of the characters' struggle against the elements and the wild, setting the tone for the harrowing adventure that lies ahead.
