”om flyttfåglarna inte längre kom till oss i den tidiga våren, om de tillslut trots årtusendens av genetiska minne inte skulle kunna ta sig fram över krigszoner och inte komma åt att rasta i marker som lagts under vatten i de stora översvämningarna, skulle de bli saknade då?”

En nydelig liten bok om mann og natur, mann og kone og om mann og ulv :)

For å utdype litt, så handler den om naturens sårbarhet, brutalitet og skjønnhet, om alderdom og om et langvarig ekteskap.

Jeg er mektig imponert. Men jeg syns det er synd at den norske tittelen på boka ikke ble "Ulf og ulven". Det hadde gjort seg!

Loved the whole idea of Löpa varg, to go into the mind of a wolf, and that the main character who does this has been leading a hunt for years. The inner conflict that this creates is endlessly fascinating. It is beautifully written, capturing the accent of the main characters and the nearness of nature in their lives.

The ending was a bit pedestrian compared to the rest of the book - though very logical and realistic. Overall, loved this book. Short, dark and elegant.
