Farley Mowat Ordine dei libri
12 maggio 1921 – 6 maggio 2014
Farley Mowat è stato un rinomato autore e conservazionista canadese le cui opere si concentravano spesso sulla fauna selvatica e sui popoli indigeni. La sua scrittura derivava frequentemente da una profonda indignazione per le ingiustizie e le incomprensioni affrontate dai mondi naturali e dalle persone, con l'obiettivo di educare e ispirare i lettori verso la conservazione. Attraverso narrazioni avvincenti e osservazioni acute, Mowat ha illuminato le complessità della vita in ambienti ostili, sottolineando la necessità di compassione e rispetto per tutte le forme di vita. La sua eredità letteraria risiede nella sua capacità di evocare un forte senso di responsabilità per il pianeta.

Vědec - biolog, pověřený kanadskou vládou k prozkoumání problému "šelma - vlk a kořist - sob", odhalil předsudky a pověry o vlcích, a zvláště pak skutečnost, že nikoli vlci ničí stáda sobů, ale chamtiví lidé, kteří se neštítí z pouhé ziskuchtivosti postřílet z letadla třeba celé stádo.

Farley Mowat's funniest book tells the adventures of Wol and Weeps, two owls from Saskatchewan who shape up a whole neighbourhood, turn a house topsy-turvy, and outsmart Mutt, the dog hero of The Dog Who Wouldn't Be. Wol brings dead skunks to the family dinner table and terrorizes the minister, the postman, and the French teacher. Weeps is a comical bird, afraid of everything except Mutt, and he never does learn how to fly. Here is the heartwarming story of how a boy named Billy finds Wol and Weeps and unwittingly adds two new members to the family.

This is a unique and compelling look at a world that has undergone dramatic changes in the last fifty years, described in vintage Farley Mowat style.
