National Book Award Finalist: A “brilliant” study of the science
and mythology of the wolf by the New York Times–bestselling author
of Arctic Dreams (The Washington Post). When John Fowles reviewed
Of Wolves and Men, he called it “A remarkable book, both
biologically absorbing and humanly rich, and one that should be read
by every concerned American.” In this National Book
Award–shortlisted work, literary master Barry Lopez guides us
through the world of the wolf and our often-mistaken perceptions of
another species’ place on our shared planet. Throughout the
centuries, the wolf has been a figure of fascination and mystery, and
a major motif in literature and myth. Inspiring fear and respect, the
creature has long exerted a powerful influence on the human
imagination. Of Wolves and Men takes the reader into the world of the
Canis lupus and its relationship to humankind through the ages. Lopez
draws on science, history, mythology, and his own field research to
present a compelling portrait of wolves both real and imagined,
dispelling our fear of them while celebrating their place in our
history, legends, and hearts. This ebook features an illustrated
biography of Barry Lopez including rare images and never-before-seen
documents from the author’s personal collection.
