Description:
xiV, 183 p. ; 20 cm.
Summary:
The bestselling nature classic that stands as a hallmark of conservation writing and forever changed the way we look at wolves. In 1948, Farley Mowat landed in the far north of Manitoba, a young biologist sent to investigate the
region
's dwindling population of caribou. Many people thought that the caribous' conspicuous decline had been caused by the tundra's most notorious predator: the
wolf
. Alone among the howling canine packs, Mowat expected to find the bloodthirsty beasts of popular conception. Instead, over the course of a summer spent observing the powerful animals, Mowat discovered an animal species with a remarkable capacity for loyalty, virtue, and playfulness. Praised for its humor and engrossing narrative, Never Cry
Wolf
describes a group of wolves whose interactions and behaviors seem strikingly similar to our own. Mowat humanizes these animals that have long been demonized, turning the widespread narrative of the "savage
wolf
" on its head and inspiring many governments to enact protective legislation for the North's most mysterious creature. Farley Mowat (1921-2014) was a Canadian writer and environmentalist. He achieved fame with the publication of his books on the Canadian north, such as People of the Deer (1952) and Never Cry
Wolf
(1963). The latter, an account of his experiences with wolves in the Arctic, was made into a film of the same name released in 1983.
