Excerpt: "Kazan lay mute and motionless, his gray nose between his forepaws, his eyes half closed. A rock could have appeared scarcely less lifeless than he; not a muscle twitched; not a hair moved; not an eyelid quivered. Yet every drop of the wild blood in his splendid body was racing in a ferment of excitement that Kazan had never before experienced; every nerve and fiber of his wonderful muscles was tense as steel wire..."

Autorenporträt
James Oliver Curwood (1878-1927) was an American author and conservationist renowned for his adventure novels set in the wilderness. Born on June 12, 1878, in Owosso, Michigan, Curwood found a passion for the outdoors at a young age, an element that would deeply permeate his literary work. After an abortive foray into journalism and a stint at the University of Michigan, he turned to writing fiction. Many of Curwood's novels, including his celebrated 'Kazan, the Wolf Dog' (1914), draw upon his experiences in the wilds of Canada and his encounters with nature and animals. His style is marked by vivid imagery and gripping narratives that celebrate the untamed landscapes. 'Kazan', one of Curwood's most popular works, exemplifies his skill in crafting animal characters with as much depth and emotion as human characters, a tradition seen within the literary movement of naturalism. Curwood's stories often feature themes of survival, the inherent nobility of the natural world, and a deep-seated concern for environmental conservation, which was quite progressive for his time. He was a prolific writer, producing more than thirty novels and numerous short stories and articles. His love for nature was not confined to the page; it reflected in his personal life and activism. Curwood's legacy is preserved in his writing and in the castle he built in Owosso, which stands as a museum honoring his life and work.
