Lone Wolf

In Lone Wolf, award-winning journalist Adam Weymouth chronicles the gripping journey of Slavc, a lone wolf that traverses over a thousand miles from Slovenia into Italy, marking the return of wolves to a region long devoid of these creatures. As Weymouth retraces Slavc's path through the Alps, he examines the complex interplay between nature, immigration, and societal fears in a world grappling with change. This exploration not only sheds light on the wolf's role in the ecosystem but also prompts reflection on how we perceive the 'other'—be it in the animal kingdom or among ourselves—against the backdrop of climate upheaval and shifting political landscapes. Written in sharp, poetic prose, Lone Wolf invites readers to rethink our relationship with the natural world.
