| Summary |
"Kun mies on mies" by Harold Bell Wright is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a man who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and redemption after losing something significant in his youth. Set against the backdrop of the American West, the narrative explores themes of masculinity, personal worth, and the stark beauty of nature. The opening of the book introduces a foreign man who is transfixed by the breathtaking landscape of Arizona as he travels on foot through remote areas. As he moves away from Prescott after a festive occasion, he reveals an inner turmoil marked by self-doubt and shame, juxtaposed with a yearning for belonging and purpose. He encounters a rancher named Joe Acton, who extends a friendly offer to help him navigate the rugged terrain, suggesting a deepening connection between the seemingly disparate lives of the two men. The stage is set for a transformation as they both grapple with their identities and struggles, amidst the challenges presented by the untamed land. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
