| Summary | "Double Challenge" by Jim Kjelgaard is a novel written in the late 1950s. The book introduces readers to Ted Harkness, a young man passionate about the outdoors, whose aspirations revolve around hunting and potentially running a resort in the wilderness of Mahela. The story unfolds against the backdrop of Ted's struggles with his father's ideals and the looming threats from other inhabitants of their woodsy community, setting the stage for a compelling exploration of values, ambition, and the conflicts between personal integrity and societal pressures. At the start of the narrative, Ted Harkness, along with his loyal collie Tammie, embarks on an adventurous climb up Hawkbill Mountain, where he witnesses a group of young grouse and observes two magnificent bucks named Damon and Pythias. This opening scene vividly paints the serene yet competitive environment Ted inhabits, filled with wildlife and the dreams of a young man bent on proving himself as a skilled hunter. As the story progresses, Ted faces a moral dilemma when his employer, Carl Thornton, pressures him to illegally hunt the very deer he admires. This tension is further compounded by family dynamics, as Ted's father Al values adherence to the law and tradition. Through these opening sequences, readers are thrust into a world that balances the beauty of nature with the complexities of human ambition and ethics. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
