''A bold beautiful confronting journey charting a continent buckling under social and
environmental pressure. A book about a wolf about love and hate and our conflicted
relationship with nature and our fellow human beings. Timely and fascinating.'' Isabella Tree
author of WILDING From the winner of the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award comes
an epic walk across the Alps in the footsteps of a wolf throwing unique light on Europe''s
mountainous hinterlands at a moment of political and environmental change. In 2011 a young
wolf named Slavc set out from Slovenia. Tracked by GPS he travelled a thousand miles through
the Alps arriving four months later on the Lessinian plateau north of Verona. There had been
no wolves in northern Italy for a century but here he crossed paths with a female wolf on a
walkabout of her own. A decade later and there are more than a hundred wolves back in the area
the result of their remarkable meeting. In Lone Wolf Weymouth walks Slavc''s path examining
the changes facing these wild corners of Europe. Here the call to rewild meets the urge to
preserve culture nationalism and globalisation pull apart climate change is radically
changing lives and migrants too are on the move. The result is a multifaceted account of a
region caught in a moment of kaleidoscopic flux from an award-winning writer with a uniquely
perceptive eye for detail. PRAISE FOR ADAM WEYMOUTH ''A really outstanding new contemporary
