Summary "Brothers of Peril: A Story of Old Newfoundland" by Theodore Goodridge Roberts is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the tumultuous period following John Cabot’s discovery of Newfoundland, breathlessly depicting the lives of the Beothic people amidst the encroachments of European fishermen and adventurers. The story centers on two young characters: Wolf Slayer, a fierce and determined boy who proves himself in battle, and Ouenwa, the grandson of a chief, who dreams of exploring the world beyond their village. The beginning of the novel introduces a gripping scene where Wolf Slayer, having just earned his man-name, slays a great wolf and returns to his village, eager for recognition and to establish his place among the warriors. The narrative swiftly moves to Ouenwa, who serves as a foil to Wolf Slayer, possessing a more introspective nature and a thirst for knowledge about the world beyond their familiar surroundings. The tension between these two characters foreshadows deeper conflicts as they navigate the complexities of their cultural identity against the backdrop of their changing land. The opening chapters effectively set the stage for a story rich in action, adventure, and exploration of identity amid the struggles faced by the Beothic people.
