NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A thrilling tale of

Michael Punke’s The Revenant is the astonishing story of real-life trapper and
frontiersman Hugh Glass. The year is 1823, and the trappers of the Rocky
Mountain Fur Company live a brutal frontier life. Hugh Glass is among the
company’s finest men, an experienced frontiersman and an expert tracker. But
when a scouting mission puts him face-to-face with a grizzly bear, he is
viciously mauled and not expected to survive. Two company men are dispatched
to stay behind and tend to Glass before he dies. When the men abandon him
instead, Glass is driven to survive by one desire: revenge. With shocking grit
and determination, Glass sets out, crawling at first, across hundreds of miles
of uncharted American frontier. Based on a true story, The Revenant is a
remarkable tale of obsession, the human will stretched to its limits, and the
lengths that one man will go to for retribution. Read more
