Beschreibung
Today some fantasise about the wolf but in the past the wolf was seen as an ever present danger and especially in the winter. These three stories highlight what it was and still is like for some living close to wolves. The first two are set in Russia where the vast conifer forest called the Taiga holds wolves and the third is in Canada where the wolf runs on the Tundra and in the forests.
The wolf is hardy but has been hunted to extinction in some countries . Re-introductions are being made but the fear of wolves is an old one wired into our psyche. Wolf fear is there in the mind of modern humans waiting to be awakened; the fear that, despite all our technology, we who are so powerful could become prey.
