THE HUNTED WOMAN (Western Thriller) (eBook)

James Oliver Curwood (1878–1927) was an American novelist and conservationist, known for his action-packed adventure tales set in the wilderness. The intersection between human ambition and the unforgiving elements of nature often features prominently in his work. This juxtaposition is evident in his 1916 novel, 'The Hunted Woman,' a Western Thriller that captures his unique blend of romance and adventure set against the backdrop of the rugged Canadian landscape. A prolific writer, Curwood authored more than thirty books, many of which were bestsellers in their time and have been translated into several languages. Some of his other well-known works include 'The Wolf Hunters' and 'Kazan, the Wolf Dog.' His writing has a distinctive style, rich in vivid descriptions, which often reflect his own experiences as an outdoor enthusiast and his extensive travels through the remote regions of Canada. Curwood's passion for nature not only informed his literary works but also his advocacy for environmental conservation; eventually, he dedicated half of his time to writing and the other half to the preservation of wilderness areas. His legacy encompasses both his contributions to the adventure literature genre and his early efforts in environmental conservation.
