The Greater Power by Harold Bindloss
"The Greater Power" by Harold Bindloss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the rugged wilderness of British Columbia, where the protagonist, Derrick Nasmyth, struggles with the harsh realities of life as a logger while grappling with his past and the ensuing trials of survival in a foreign land. As he faces physical challenges and emotional turmoil, the narrative highlights the themes of resilience, identity, and
the complexity of human connections. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the stark winter landscape and the demanding life of logging in the brutal cold. Derrick, the main character, is depicted as a man who feels overburdened by the demands of his labor yet shows a sense of determination. As he struggles to keep up with his strong companions, we learn about his background, suggesting he hails from a more privileged yet troubled existence. His experiences lead him to contemplate his future and connections with others, particularly when he receives help from the local ranchers, setting in motion his journey toward finding purpose and possibly redemption in the unforgiving wilderness.
