Emilio Salgari, the author of a number of adventure novels, is a follower of the school of the strongest sides of this genre. In the novel “In the Far West,” Salgari follows in the footsteps of Fenimore Cooper, but strikes in a completely different way than Jules Verne. It is striking precisely because on such a well-studied globe there are still so many unusual, sometimes monstrously creepy and dangerous, complex and sometimes unsolved by researchers and science. The Book also includes the novel “Trepang Catchers.”
