Krátky popis
'A wolf's footsteps, followed, a continent's faultlines, traced:
Adam Weymouth has made a formidable, thousand-mile foot-journey,
both in the tracks of a wolf and into the heart of human-animal
relations in contemporary Europe -- and written an exceptional book
about it. His prose has a glinting precision of analysis and
evocation to it, his intense curiosity and empathy extend across
species boundaries as well towards people and landscapes' Robert
Macfarlane, author of UNDERLAND'A bold, beautiful, confronting
journey charting a continent buckling under social and
environmental pressure. A book about a wolf, about love and hate,
and our conflicted relationship with nature and our fellow human
beings.Timely and fascinating.' Isabella Tree, author of
WILDINGFrom the winner of the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year
Award comes an epic walk across the Alps in the footsteps of a
wolf, throwing unique light on Europe's mountainous hinterlands at
a moment of political and environmental change. In 2011, a young
wolf named Slavc set out from Slovenia. Tracked by GPS, he
travelled a thousand miles through the Alps, arriving four months
later on the Lessinian plateau, north of Verona.There had been no
wolves in northern Italy for a century, but here he crossed paths
with a female wolf on a walkabout of her own. A decade later and
there are more than a hundred wolves back in the area, the result
of their remarkable meeting. In Lone Wolf, Weymouth walks Slavc's
path, examining the changes facing these wild corners of
Europe.Here, the call to rewild meets the urge to preserve culture,
nationalism and globalisation pull apart, climate change is
radically changing lives, and migrants, too, are on the move. The
result is a multifaceted account of a region caught in a moment of
kaleidoscopic flux, from an award-winning writer with a uniquely
perceptive eye for detail. PRAISE FOR ADAM WEYMOUTH'A really
outstanding new contemporary British voice' Andrew Holgate, Sunday
Times'Adam Weymouth takes his place beside the great travel writers
like Chatwin, Thubron, Leigh Fermor, in one bound' Susan Hill,
