Translated by Aune Tudeer
A novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the character Frona Welse, a strong and resolute young woman embarking on a journey to the Klondike Gold Rush. As she navigates the chaotic scene at the port, she encounters various personalities and uncovers the stark realities of life during this pivotal period of human aspiration and desperation. The opening of the novel introduces us to Frona Welse as she disembarks from a steamship, eager to reach her childhood home amidst the frenzy characterizing the arrival of gold seekers. The busy atmosphere is charged with excitement and urgency, as Frona observes the chaotic unloading of cargo while reflecting on her past and the people around her. She quickly asserts her independence and courage when interacting with a rough sailor and demonstrates a deep connection to her roots and surroundings. As Frona begins to journey into the wilderness, her strong character and optimism set the tone for her impending adventures and challenges in a land driven by greed and determination.
