Beschreibung

Baree, Son of Kazan follows the journey of a young wolf-dog as he grows up in the wilderness, learning to survive and discover his identity. Born to a half-wolf, half-dog father and a wolf mother, Baree faces the challenges of navigating the wild world around him. The narrative explores his evolution from a creature unaware of light or lineage to a skilled hunter, learning from both his mother's teachings and his innate instincts. As Baree matures, he encounters both the dangers and beauty of the natural world, realizing his dual nature as both wolf and dog. The story delves into the connection between instinct and survival, illustrating how Baree learns to balance these forces while forging his path in the wilderness. Through his experiences, the novel examines the relationships between parent and child, the wild environment, and the personal growth that comes with independence. Baree s story is one of survival, self-discovery, and the untamed beauty of the natural world.

Autor

James Oliver Curwood was an American author of action-adventure books and an environmentalist. He was born on June 12, 1878, and died on August 13, 1927. Publishers Weekly says that in the early and mid-1920s, his books were among the ten best-selling in the United States. Many of them were about experiences that took place in the Hudson Bay area, the Yukon, or Alaska. One movie was made in three different versions from 1919 to 1953, and at least 180 movies have been based on or directly influenced by his books and short stories. He was the best-paid author in the world (per word) at the time of his death. Curwood was born in Owosso, Michigan. He did well on the test to get into the University of Michigan and was able to start studying writing in the English department. He sold his first story while he was at the University of Michigan in 1898. In 1907, the Canadian government hired him to go to the farthest northern parts of the country and write and print accounts of his travels to promote tourism.
