The time of the wolves
In a journey through history, literature, psychology and biology, Rao reconstructs how popular superstition, the learned culture of churchmen, but also the great transformations of the environment have created the myth of the European wolf. A myth survived to the present day.
Wolves are coming back. In recent years their population has increased exponentially throughout Europe More and more often they are sighted around the inhabited centers, in the pastures, at the edge of the forest. Along with their traces emerge ancient fears, never completely overcome.
Enemy to be persecuted, incarnation of evil, danger for crops and flocks: as urbanization progressed and the forests left space to the fields, the wolves were hunted. A massacre fueled by an ancestral fear coming from the Middle Ages to the present.
