Since prehistoric times, the wolf has fascinated us. But what is a wolf? What animal lies beneath this word that, for a long time, made rural dwellers shudder? The study of this species, undertaken particularly during the Age of Enlightenment, never ceases to amaze us by revealing a highly hierarchical social organization.
Depending on the era and culture, the wolf has been considered an ally, even a friend, or, on the contrary, the worst of enemies. Cruel and merciless towards its victims for some, a vital link in biodiversity for others, the wolf still provokes lively debates within society today. From myth to reality, this book offers a dive into the lair of the one who, more than any other animal, has fueled our imagination for centuries.
