Of Wolves and Men

Product Information

We are dealing with a different kind of death from the one men know. When the wolf "asks" for the life of another animal he is responding to something in that animal that says, "My life is strong. It is worth asking for." A moose may be biologically constrained to die because he is old or injured, but the choice is there. The death is not tragic. It has dignity." in the wolf we have not so much an animal that we have always known as one that we have consistently imagined.” The broad stories he uses are Native American and more recent Eskimo view of wolves, Western folklore’s influence on our modern approach to wolves and some actual scientific information about wolves. La bestia dell'abbandono e della desolazione: raccolta di racconti riguardante la strage compiuta dai conquistatori nei confronti dei lupi, completa di "motivazioni" e conseguenze per la specie.

The people of hunting societies had immense respect for wolves, amazing animals that could survive long arctic winters without tools, clothing, or fires. Both wolves and humans were highly intelligent and social species who spent their lives living in a similar way, on the same land, pursuing the same prey. Wolves were natural predators. Their bodies were perfected for the hunting life by a million years of evolution. Humans were odd creatures, incapable of effective hunting without the use of a collection of clever technology. Eskimos periodically died of starvation, but wolves rarely did.

Native American mythology, hunters' tales, and Christian folk legend aren't inferior alternatives to science, though they are not treated as epistemological equals either. By presenting these four viewpoints on the wolf, Lopez investigates human imagination of the wolf, its social construction by these four distinct societies. With the wolf as a fixed point of reference, Lopez is able to compare and contrast the symbology and sentiment humans have historically mapped onto nature – the contrast between European and Native American cultures of course stand in stark contrast, while the contemporary viewpoint is in some ways even more distinct from its historical roots.The SONG IS ABOUT WILDNESS (OF WOLF AND MAN both). The song is well summated in the line "IN WILDNESS IS THE PRESERVATION OF THE WORLD".

WOLF has something for everyone, especially those who like a great crime thriller. It's got plenty of horror, plenty of crime and a lot of action. It's got great dilemmas, interpersonal relationships and lots of twists and turns - everything that you could want. WOLF is unique because the series follows two parallel, quite deep and complex cases. It manipulates time with one storyline happening faster than the other but the two gradually catch up with each other to meet in their final culmination. Some elements are quite fantastical and theatrical which juxtaposes against the grit, gore and the action. I think audiences are really going to enjoy it.In one sense Of Wolves and Men is not really so much about wolves, rather wolves are the alien species Lopez uses to expose how Mankind tries to understand the world, and how fear and misunderstand and plain stupidity inform that understanding (or more accurately our mis-understanding) Although one wonders if the Navajo or Hopi were farming at the same time did they viewed the plants as holy. It is a violent expression of a terrible assumption: that men have the right to kill other creatures not for what they do but for what we fear they may do…Killing wolves has to do with fear based on superstitions. It has to do with “duty”. It has to do with proving manhood. PG 140

One of the things that was really important to me was to make sure that dynamic between Honey and Molina works. I've always wanted to work with Iwan because he's done such fantastic work on screen, theatre and in so many different genres too. This song is absolutely a metaphor. Metallica doesn't write songs for horror films, yes it is about a warewolf, but yes it also goes much deeper. I think they're mostly unsettling because they're pretty incompetent and they have a penchant for the theatrical - Honey in particular, but Molina is a bit of a liability. They become desperate when things start to go wrong and there’s lots of other outside factors that keep putting more pressure on them which forces them to become more and more desperate. You then see them resort to more desperate measures the more the pressure builds.To reduce my own review, I think he is saying despite all the modern marvels, we don’t really know ourselves, and how we treat wolves is a very clear expression of that.

We assume that the animal is entirely comprehensible and, as Henry Beston has said, has taken form on a plane beneath the one we occupy. It seems to me that this is a sure way to miss the animal and to see, instead, only another reflection of our own ideas.” I read Of Wolves and Men the same year I read Lopez's Arctic Dreams; the latter was a gift from my mentor and teacher, a scholar of literacy who was also a lover of the environment. I understood in the process of reading these books that it is indeed a deeply complex thing to understand wolves, or young learners, as if they were One Thing. How we can know a thing—any thing—is complex and difficult work. A lot of the characters never meet the Anchor-Ferrers family. We are in a very isolated part of the story. We literally shot in one location – a mansion - so the Anchor-Ferrers story, vivid and extreme though it is, is always held in the bubble of that one house. Indians perception of wolves) ..the line between Indians and wolves may fade, not because Indians did not perceive the differences but but because they were preoccupied with the similarities. PG 98Matilda is an upper middle class woman from a wealthy family. Her and her husband, Oliver, have two children. The son, who isn't present in the story, is a bit of a big success story which probably means a lot to this family as it seems there’s likely been pressure to be successful in this family. Their daughter, Lucia, who in worldly terms has been less successful and is very troubled. From when we first meet them in the car in the first scene, there is a lot of history and delicate references to the troubles that they’re bringing with them. It reminds me very much of the character Perrin aybara in the wheel of time series by the late robert jordan ( amazing series, strongly recommend it, although it gets a bit monotenous after book 8). Perrin has something awakened within himself, an inner wolf. His senses heighten, his eyes turn golden and his instincts become more wolf like. We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."
