Despre această carte electronică
Ordinary Wolves depicts a life different from what any of us has known: Inhuman cold, the taste of rancid salmon shared with shivering sled dogs, hunkering in a sod igloo while blizzards moan overhead. But this is the only world Cutuk Hawcley has ever known. Born and raised in the Arctic, he has learned to provide for himself by hunting, fishing, and trading. And yet, though he idolizes the indigenous hunters who have taught him how to survive, when he travels to the nearby Inupiaq village, he is jeered and pummeled by the native children for being white. When he leaves for the city as a young man, two incompatible realities collide, perfectly capturing "the contrast between the wild world and our ravaging consumer culture." (Louise Erdrich). In a powerful coming of age story, a young man isolated by his past must choose between two worlds, both seemingly bent on rejecting him.

Despre autor
Seth Kantner––trapper, fisherman, photographer, igloo-builder, and acclaimed author of Ordinary Wolves––was born in a sod igloo on the Alaskan tundra and raised simply on the land, wearing mukluks before they were fashionable, eating boiled caribou pelvis, and communing with the Iñupiaq, the native Eskimos of the region. With a photographer’s eye and a writer’s heart, Seth Kantner reveals an America unknown to many of us. Kantner attended the University of Alaska and the University of Montana, where he received a B. A. in journalism. Kantner’s writings and photographs have appeared in Outside, Prairie Schooner, Alaska, Switch!, Reader’s Digest, among other anthologies and publications. He lives with his wife and daughter in northwest Alaska. Ordinary Wolves is his first novel.
