Lone Wolf

Praise

“Weymouth is an uncommon brand of travel writer, weaving natural history with culture and politics. . . . Lone Wolf is much more than the story of Slavc: It is a vehicle for Weymouth to trace the fault lines splintering Europe and to examine how people respond when confronted by unwelcome change. . . . To observe and absorb the natural-human interface, as Weymouth does, is an art.”—The Atlantic

“Thoughtful, empathetic . . . his pen portraits are vivid and acute. . . . If he keeps going like this, the next book will be extraordinary.”—The Sunday Times

“Superb . . . Weymouth’s prose is crisp and lyrical.”—Sunday Telegraph

“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

“A majestic and hopeful journey, movingly told by one of our master storytellers.”—Ben Rawlence, award-winning author of The Treeline
