An extraordinary portrait of the lives of wolves, the researchers who study them, and the rustic highlanders who share their landscape in the mysterious wilds of Transylvania. Here we take an enchanting journey, tracking wolves through the deep snows and dense forests of Romania, where "Old Europe" still hangs on, hardly touched by modern trends or discovered by western travellers. Guided with humour, insight, and vivid description, we fend off belligerent shepherd dogs and foul weather to discover not only wolf behaviour and ecology but also human history, culture, and myth: ancient "wolf-warriors" (Dacians), colourful Romani (Gypsies), legendary vampires (Dracula) and more. And as we contemplate the benefits of wilderness, the joys of self-discovery, and the nature of time and consciousness, we are entertained with 32 pages of informative and beautiful colour photographs.
