About This Book

Le récit décrit la vie d'une bande d'aventuriers sans loi installée sur un archipel du lac Supérieur, où un modeste poste de traite concentre richesses et tensions. Le chef, surnommé le Mangeux-d'Hommes, et son lieutenant l'Écorché dirigent les Douze Apôtres, groupe armé au visage marqué par la violence et l'audace. Les épisodes mêlent affrontements, pillages et stratégies autour du commerce des fourrures, tout en restituant la rudesse du milieu insulaire. À travers ces scènes et portraits, l'oeuvre explore la brutalité, l'avidité et la désorganisation morale qui règnent à la lisière de la civilisation.
