This is not a book about wolves. Neither is it a natural science  tle. 
It’s a narra ve about mankind; human obsession, greed and ambi-

17th of June 2012, at 11.18 am a young woman is found dead inside the
wolf enclosure at Kolmården Wildlife Park, Sweden. The 30‐year‐old li‐

alarm was raised.

wanted to save the world.

It’s a book that tells the story of how nature and large predators became an
entertainment industry. It’s a book about humanity’s wish to control na‐
