영어로 읽는 고전 _ 제임스 올리버 커우드의 기마 경찰 필립 스틸
제임스 올리버 커우드의 "왕립 북서 기마 경찰의 필립 스틸"은 20세기 초에 쓰인 소설입니다. 이 이야기는 부유한 배경을 극복하고 캐나다의 황무지에서 왕립 북서 기마 경찰로 복무하는 청년 필립 스틸을 중심으로 전개됩니다. 이 이야기는 모험, 고립의 투쟁, 사랑과 의무의 복잡성이라는 주제를 제시합니다. 소설의 서두에서 필립 스틸은 격렬한 폭풍 속에서 외딴 오두막에서 강렬한 고독과 씨름하는 모습을 보여줍니다. 그는 향수와 향수병에 대한 감정을 가슴 아프게 반영하는 편지를 쓰면서 오두막에 보관해 둔 인간의 두개골에 시달리게 되고, 다른 남자와 관련된 비극적인 과거에 대한 기억이 떠오릅니다. 바깥의 폭풍은 그리움과 후회의 감정을 불러일으키는 한 여성의 편지를 숙고하는 그의 내면의 혼란을 반영합니다. 스틸의 생각에 대한 이러한 초기 탐구는 그의 상충되는 감정을 드러내며, 관계, 모험의 매력, 경찰로서의 그의 의무를 포함한 보다 심오한 이야기를 암시하며, 줄거리가 진행됨에 따라 펼쳐질 복잡한 상황의 배경을 마련합니다.

Philip Steele of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police by James Oliver Curwood

The opening of the novel introduces us to Philip Steele as he grapples with intense solitude within his remote cabin during a fierce storm. As he writes a letter that poignantly reflects his feelings of nostalgia and homesickness, he is haunted by a human skull he keeps in his cabin, which brings forth memories of a tragic past involving another man. The storm outside mirrors the turmoil within him as he contemplates a letter from a woman that stirs feelings of longing and regret. This initial exploration of his thoughts reveals Steele's conflicting emotions, hinting at a deeper story involving relationships, the lure of adventure, and his duties as a Mountie, setting the stage for the complexities that will unfold as the plot progresses.

Summary
Philip Steele's pencil drove steadily over the paper, as if the mere writing of a letter he might never mail in some way lessened the loneliness.
The wind is blowing a furious gale outside. From off the lake come volleys of sleet, like shot from guns, and all the wild demons of this black night in the wilderness seem bent on tearing apart the huge end-locked logs that form my cabin home. In truth, it is a terrible night to be afar from human companionship, with naught but this roaring desolation about and the air above filled with screeching terrors. Even through thick log walls I can hear the surf roaring among the rocks and beating the white driftwood like a thousand battering-rams, almost at my door. It is a night to make one shiver, and in the lulls of the storm the tall pines above me whistle and wail mournfully as they straighten their twisted heads after the blasts.
