The Wolf Hunters

James Curwood is a thrilling writer - who considered nature to be his religion. In this story set amongst the snow covered plains of the Canadian wilderness, with original peoples, deep blood-lust, revenge-driven hates, and close friendships between friends from different backgrounds, Curwood provides a glimpse of nature at its best and worst. Better yet the reader will feel the cold of the snow, the thrill of the hunt, the hunger of the trail and the love for life as if the location framing the story has not changed one iota since Curwood wrote this - his second wonderful work. A note also for future fans - because fans you will become - that this book is detailed at the ManyBooks site (at the time of writing this review) as being written in 1918 but in fact it was written in 1908. Thus the next book (and therefore the next book you will be looking for) is "The Gold Hunters" written in 1909.

Muy buena novela de aventuras. Excelentes descripciones y una muy lograda ambientación le dan credibilidad a esta historia que, aunque sencilla, no deja de tener cierta intriga. Por sobre todo, están muy logradas las escenas de acción. Lamentablemente, la segunda parte, "The gold hunters", no es tan buena.
