Power Of The Dog

Power of the Dog

by Rudyard Kipling

The Power of the Dog is a novel set in the American West during the late 19th century. It tells the story of a powerful and ruthless rancher named Charlies, who is known for his wild and unpredictable nature. When a vulnerable widow and her son move to a neighboring ranch, Charlie's domineering behavior toward the widow's son creates a tension that escalates into a dramatic conflict. Through the narrative, Kipling explores themes of masculinity, societal expectations, the wilderness, and the power of human relationships.
