À propos de cet audio
Before men ruled the earth, there were wolves. Once abundant in North America, these majestic creatures were hunted to near extinction in the lower 48 states by the 1920s. But in recent decades, conservationists have brought wolves back to the Rockies, igniting a battle over the very soul of the West.
With novelistic detail, Nate Blakeslee tells the gripping story of one of these wolves, O-Six, a charismatic alpha female named for the year of her birth. Uncommonly powerful, with gray fur and faint black ovals around each eye, O-Six is a kind and merciful leader, a fiercely intelligent fighter, and a doting mother. She is beloved by wolf watchers, particularly renowned naturalist Rick McIntyre, and becomes something of a social media star, with followers around the world.
But as she raises her pups and protects her pack, O-Six is challenged on all fronts: by hunters, who compete with wolves for the elk they both prize; by cattle ranchers who are losing livestock and have the ear of politicians; and by other Yellowstone wolves who are vying for control of the park’s stunningly beautiful Lamar Valley.
These forces collide in American Wolf, a riveting multigenerational saga of hardship and triumph that tells a larger story about the ongoing cultural clash in the West—between those fighting for a vanishing way of life and those committed to restoring one of the country’s most iconic landscapes.

I was so happily surprised that this is one of the most wonderful books I have read. Never did I think that a nonfiction tale about wolves would grab my attention and have me coming back so often to listen.
Blakeslee has a way of conveying the story of the wolves, the culture of the watchers, and the politics of a country and weaving these into a wonderful tale. When reading about the wolves you felt part if their pack and you understood them and their complex social lives. You felt the passion of the watchers and activists and the science behind why wolves are so integral to nature. Finally you also understood the views of the ranchers and hunters. The true life characters of 41, 06, 755, Rick, Doug Smith, Lori and Turnbull were also so well done. The writing was excellent, engaging, somewhat academic but in a fictional way. Finally the narrater (Mark Bramhall) was exceptional and the perfect voice for this book.
I highly recommend this book/audiobook.
