What would compel a man to place himself in constant danger in
order to become a member of a wolf pack? To eat with them, putting
his head into a carcass alongside the wolves' gnashing teeth? To
play, hunt, and spar with them, suffering bruises and bites? To
learn their language so his howl is indistinguishable from theirs?
To give up a normal life of relationships and family so that he can
devote himself completely to the protection of these wild animals?
In "The Man Who Lives with Wolves," Shaun Ellis reveals how his
life irrevocably changed the first time he set eyes on a wolf. In
exhilarating prose, he takes us from his upbringing in the wilds of
Norfolk, England, to his survival training with British Army
Special Forces to the Nez Perce Indian lands in Idaho, where he
first ran with a wolf pack for nearly two years.
Offering an extraordinary look into the lives of these threatened,
misunderstood creatures, Ellis shares how he ate raw kill-and
little else; washed rarely, and only in plain water; learned to
bury his face into the carcasses of prey-and, when necessary, to
defend his share of the kill; communicated with the pack by his
howls and body language, which over time became seemingly identical
to theirs; and observed from this unique vantage point how wolves
give birth to and raise their young, and enforce order among the
pack.
After years of living in the wild, Shaun Ellis was barely able to
recognize the feral face that stared back at him from the mirror.
And in "The Man Who Lives with Wolves," we discover the life of a
rare and fascinating man who abandoned civilization but never lost
touch with his humanity.
