![]() ![]() Author: Marvin Garry Publisher: Nottetempo Il lupo è una delle creature animali piú potenti e carismatiche nell'immaginario umano. È l'icona della wilderness, la natura 'selvaggia' percorsa nelle sue cacce di branco. I popoli cacciatori ne hanno ammirato l'abilità e la resistenza, rispettandolo ed evocandolo nei loro cerimoniali. Eppure, la sua sorte sul pianeta è stata segnata dalla violenza dell'uomo, il superpredatore che non ama la competizione sul 'suo' territorio. Con la nascita della domesticazione degli animali sono iniziate infatti la persecuzione del lupo e la sua demonizzazione, lasciando tracce evidenti nell'immaginario culturale: dal lupo rapace del simbolismo cristiano al lupo cattivo delle favole, fino alle leggende popolari sui licantropi. Ed è iniziata una storia di ostilità e sterminio della specie attraverso i secoli, culminata nell'eradicazione quasi totale dell'animale da Europa, America, Russia, Giappone. Solo negli ultimi decenni, grazie a studi scientifici sistematici e a una nuova sensibilità ecologica, questo animale ha cominciato a riguadagnare parte dei suoi spazi vitali, con campagne di ripopolamento e una graduale ricolonizzazione. E a essere conosciuto e riconosciuto per quel che è - non solo come fantasma delle nostre proiezioni. € 18,00

![]() ![]() Author: Marvin Garry Publisher: Reaktion Books Feared and revered, the wolf has been admired as a powerful hunter and symbol of the wild and reviled for its danger to humans and livestock. Garry Marvin reveals in Wolf how the ways in which wolves are imagined has had far-reaching implications for how actual wolves are treated by humans. Indigenous hunting societies originally respected the wolf as a fellow hunter, but with the domestication of animals the wolf became regarded as an enemy due to its attacks on livestock. Wolves, as a result, developed a reputation as creatures of evil. In children's literature, they were depicted as the intruder from the wild who preys on the innocent. And in popular culture, the wolf became the creature that evil humans can transform into—the dreaded werewolf. Fear of this enigmatic creature, Marvin shows, led to an attempt to eradicate it as a species. However, with the development of scientific understanding of wolves and their place in ecological systems and the growth of popular environmentalism, the wolf has been rethought and reimagined. The wolf now has a legion of new supporters who regard it as a charismatic creature of the newly valued wild and wilderness. Marvin investigates the latest scientific understanding of the wolf, as well as its place in literature, history, and folklore, offering insights into our changing attitudes towards wolves. € 21,30
