Farley Mowat

    12 de mayo de 1921 – 6 de mayo de 2014

    Farley Mowat fue un reconocido autor y conservacionista canadiense cuyas obras a menudo se centraban en la vida silvestre y los pueblos indígenas. Su escritura a menudo surgía de una profunda indignación por las injusticias y los malentendidos a los que se enfrentaban los mundos naturales y las personas, con el objetivo de educar e inspirar a los lectores hacia la conservación. A través de narrativas convincentes y observaciones agudas, Mowat iluminó las complejidades de la vida en entornos hostiles, subrayando la necesidad de compasión y respeto por todas las formas de vida. Su legado literario reside en su capacidad para evocar un fuerte sentido de responsabilidad hacia el planeta.

      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.

      In 1953, Farley Mowat, a Canadian infantryman during World War II, returned to Europe, a place he knew only during the ravages of wartime. Together with his wife, he returns to England, France, and Italy to reexamine the past and find hope in the future. 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.
