Lone Wolf

“Lone Wolf explains deep time Old World prejudices that still hold an ocean away and across centuries. This book is a mirror that reflects wolf eyes in multiple directions.”—Dan Flores, New York Times bestselling author of Coyote America and Wild New World “Tracing the footsteps of the legendary wolf Slavc, Adam Weymouth guides us alongside melting glaciers and into Austrian farm towns, writing with tremendous curiosity and compassion about the challenges of being an animal—both human and wolf—in a rapidly changing environment.”—Erica Berry, award-winning author of Wolfish“The wolf’s resurgence across Europe is a story that will be new to most American readers, and there is nobody better to tell it than Adam Weymouth. Highly recommended!”—Nate Blakeslee, New York Times bestselling author of American Wolf“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 … His prose has a glinting precision of analysis and evocation to it.”—Robert Macfarlane, New York Times bestselling author of Underland“Scintillating … Weymouth is an ace travel writer whose immersive prose brings to vivid life the characters and settings he encounters … It adds up to a penetrating analysis of wolves’ contested place in a human-dominated world.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review“With clear, engrossing prose [Weymouth] illuminates the plight of the wolf in the modern era—one that plumbs the depths of belonging.
