More than half a century ago, the naturalist Farley Mowat accepted an assignment to investigate why wolves were killing Arctic caribou. Mowat’s account of the summer he lived in the frozen tundra alone – studying the wolf population and developing a deep affection for these wild creatures (who were no threat to caribou or man) – is today celebrated as a classic of nature writing, at once a tale of remarkable adventure and an indelible record of the myths and magic of wolves.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Suffocating from boredom and bureaucracy in a low-level corporate job, he was starved for adventure. By fate or happenstance, a hidden door led him into a secret underground room the likes of which he had never imagined possible. Surrounded by cascading waterfalls of reflected light and oddly sentient plant beings, he knew he'd found his new obsession. There was just one problem: it was all against the law.

POSITIV BOOK ON A CHALLENGING TOPIC
Revisado: 12-09-23
This is a very easy to follow book on a remarkably difficult subject - the choices and challenges one faces when transitioning into full-scale adulthood. Do not be tricked by the humor in every chapter, the core of the whole story itself is fundamentally serious.
This is a solid and welcome piece delivering high-density entertainment with endless surprising peculiarities only a careful and tireless observer can collect and process. The details of the entourage and characters are so tangible and vivid, they create the impression that the author actually lived through everything himself.
It is obvious that learning hard lessons comes to the story teller for a price, but it does not undermine his optimistic spirit. This book both emits and generates positive energy; it is hard not to think (even purely hypothetically) about trying something new and different, something never considered before, while reading it. There is no doubt it will trigger switching gears toward action in many young minds.
This is a very personal story with a candid expression of views, values, and genuine emotions towards various people, whom the author either loves or does not like but always appreciates as his companions contributing to the story of his life as he attempts to navigate it. This honesty highlights how open the author is about all of the ups and downs on his way, and how little he cares about his perception in the mind's eye of others. I love how serious he is about what he does and how he does it, but that he is not too serious about himself.
Finally, it is quite the crazy plot about a compartment of life hardly familiar to a majority of people, and about the unique characters inhabiting and shaping it.
Bottom line: this is a strong voice delivering a meaningful message in an elegant and colorful way. I hope we will hear this voice again.
Thank you!
