Résumé
Philip Whittemore is a young man who goes on an adventure up the Churchill River. He travels to a land which he thought he knew very well, yet he finds it to be very different from what he expected. Whittemore comes across something unfamiliar, concealed among the rocks and hills outpost called Fort o’God. This place, together with its inhabitants, is shrouded in mystery. What is the purpose of Philip Whittemore’s trip? What is going to happen at Fort o’God and who is the "flower of the north"? Find all the answers in James Oliver Curwood’s adventure novel "Flower of the North" from 1912. James Oliver Curwood (1878 - 1927) was an American writer as well as an unwavering nature lover and conservationist. As such, many of Curwood’s action-adventure stories were based on real events from the rugged landscapes of the American Northwest. He built himself Curwood Castle, which he used as a writing studio and as a place to greet guests. More than 150 motion pictures have been adapted to or directly inspired by his novels.

Né en 1878 dans le Michigan, James Oliver Curwood est d’abord journaliste avant de démissionner pour se consacrer à l’écriture. Il voyage dans le Grand Nord, où il vit comme un trappeur et qu’il explore même pour le compte du gouvernement canadien. Il publie près de trente romans d’aventure et de nature, dont Kazan (1914), Le Grizzly (1916) et Bari chien-loup (1917), qui rencontrent un immense succès et fait de Curwood l’un des auteurs les mieux payés de son temps. Il meurt stupidement en 1927, piqué (a priori par une araignée) à travers sa botte lors d’une expédition de pêche.
