A tale of Peter the Great and his times.

Excerpt from Boris the Bear-Hunter The moment at which I propose to introduce my readers to Boris the Bear-Hunter came very near, as it happened, to being the last which my hero was destined to spend upon this earth. Great hunter as Boris was, there is no doubt about it that on this particular occasion he met his match, and came within measurable distance of defeat at the hands - or rather paws - of one of the very creatures whose overthrow was at once his profession and his glory. It happened many a year ago - about two hundred, in fact; and the scene of Boris's adventure was an exceedingly remote one, far away in the north of Europe, close to Archangel.
