| Summary | "Hidden Country" by Henry Oyen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Gardner Pitt, who, feeling stagnant in his mundane job as a literary secretary in New York, accepts an unexpected offer from his wealthy friend George Chanler to join him on an Arctic expedition aboard the yacht Wanderer. As he embarks on this journey, Pitt's situation spirals into a mix of adventure and tension, highlighting the stark dynamics between characters and the darker undertones of their motivations. At the start of the novel, Gardner Pitt reflects on his unsatisfactory career and is drawn to Chanler's proposal for adventure. As he travels to Seattle and boards the Wanderer, he interacts with an eclectic mix of characters, including the enigmatic Captain Brack, who harbors a menacing aura. The opening chapters introduce a spectrum of personalities, revealing tensions between crew members and hinting at a violent past with Brack. The atmosphere quickly shifts from anticipation of exploration to unease as Brack's harsh leadership becomes evident, foreshadowing impending conflict and raising questions about the true purpose of their journey.
