«Le Grizzly» is the adventure novel by James Oliver Curwood, published by France Loisirs / Hachette in hardcover (235 pages, in French).
The story follows Thor, an imposing grizzly bear, and Muskwa, an orphaned cub, who forge an unexpected companionship in the wilds of Canada. Between survival, instinct and the passing of hunters, the novel explores the bond between the two animals and served as inspiration for the movie 'El Oso'.
