Author Parker, Gilbert, 1862-1932
Title The March of the White Guard
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "The March of the White Guard" by Gilbert Parker is a historical novel set in the early 20th century. The book centers on the harsh and treacherous environment of the Arctic as it follows the experiences of a group of courageous men united in a relief expedition for a missing civil engineer, Clive Lepage. It explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice against a backdrop of the formidable natural landscape, while also addressing the complexities of human relationships and personal redemption. The narrative unfolds through the journey of Jaspar Hume, who takes the lead in a rescue mission driven by a mix of duty and personal motives, as he harbors a deep connection with Lepage's wife, Rose. As Hume and his companions navigate the bitter cold and danger of the wilderness, they reflect on their pasts, confront their fears, and support each other through adversities. The journey becomes not just a physical quest to find Lepage, but also a spiritual and emotional odyssey that culminates in confrontations with betrayal, forgiveness, and the quest for personal integrity. Ultimately, the characters face their own demons and seek to reclaim their lost honor, culminating in a powerful resolution that emphasizes the profound impact of love, duty, and the bonds formed in the face of adversity.
