Description
Originally published in 1978, this revised edition of Of Wolves and Men offers a unique perspective on the relationship between humans and wolves. The author's personal experience with captive and free-ranging wolves, combined with a wide range of literature, history, science, and mythology, provides a compelling picture of the wolf as both a real animal and a symbol in human culture.
The book explores the various ways in which humans have interacted with wolves over the centuries, from fear to admiration and affection. Lopez argues for the importance of preserving the wolf, drawing on both scientific research and indigenous traditions. With its blend of scientific fieldwork, dispelling of folklore, and celebration of indigenous traditions, Of Wolves and Men is a thought-provoking exploration of the human connection with the natural world.
