Bøger af Adam Weymouth

In 2011, a lone male wolf nicknamed Slavc set out from Slovenia, and, tracked by a GPS collar, travelled for 2000km, before arriving four months later in Lessinia, an Italian plateau north of Verona. Finding the only female wolf for hundreds of miles around, they started a lineage now some fifty of which live on the plateau to this day, the first wolves in the Italian Alps for 150 years. In Lessinia, Adam Weymouth follows the path of Slavc, tracing the changes facing these wild corners of Europe, where the call to rewild meets the urge to preserve culture, where nationalism and progress pull away, and where the people are travelling, too. The result is a multifaceted account of a country caught in a moment of kaleidoscopic change, from an award-winning writer with a uniquely perceptive eye for detail.
