Description
Wolf Totem by Jiang Rong is a poignant portrayal of life in a remote settlement on the border of Inner and Outer Mongolia. In this beautiful and moving novel, Chen Zhen's solitary existence is shattered when members of the People's Republic swarm in from the cities to bring modernity and productivity to the grasslands. The delicate balance between humans and wolves is disrupted, and the author masterfully explores the consequences of this disruption on the environment and culture. A powerful portrait of modern China, Wolf Totem offers a fascinating insight into the country's own view of itself, its history, and its people. This novel has been widely acclaimed for its vivid portrayal of a bygone era and its thought-provoking exploration of the human relationship with nature.
