| Summary |
"Suuri arvoitus" by Jack London is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to focus on the adventures of a man named Kit and his companion Shorty as they navigate the harsh wilderness of Alaska. The narrative explores themes of survival, companionship, and the encounter between different cultures, particularly through Kit's interactions with various indigenous peoples. The opening of the book introduces Kit and Shorty, who are engaged in a conversation around their struggles in the Alaskan wilderness, particularly regarding their supplies and hunting prospects. Kit tends to his sled dog while Shorty rambles about women and marriage, painting a grim picture of their circumstances. The men decide to stay put for the night to repair their gear before continuing their journey. As Kit ventures out in search of Shorty, he unexpectedly encounters a group of indigenous people, which leads to his capture. This sets up the initial conflict and draws Kit into a new world where he must navigate the challenges posed by this encounter as well as the wilderness itself.
