About this book
In the late 19th century, the fur trade shaped the economic landscape of North America, intertwining the lives of European settlers and Indigenous peoples. "Le pays des fourrures" by Jules Verne delves into this intricate world, where Captain Craventy convenes a pivotal meeting at a remote Arctic fort, bringing together members of the Hudson's Bay Company and Indigenous guests, including the daring explorer Paulina Barnett. This novel explores themes of survival and cultural exchange against the backdrop of a rapidly changing frontier. Ideal for students and historians alike, Verne’s narrative invites readers to reflect on the complexities of colonization and commerce, making it a vital addition to any literary collection focused on historical dynamics and human resilience.
