James Curwood (1878–1927) is an outstanding American writer, the creator of many brilliant adventure books telling about the nature and life of the animal world, as well as the everyday life of the fearless inhabitants of the Canadian north. This book includes four of the best works from the pen Curwood: "Wolf Hunters", "Kazan", "The Pursuit" and "The Golden Loop". "Wolf Hunters" tells the story of a risky hunt undertaken by a Wabi Indian and his pale-faced friend in the harsh Canadian snows. “Kazan” tells about the fate of an amazing creature - half-dog, half-wolf, who knows how to be both a devoted friend and a fierce enemy. “The Golden Loop” introduces the reader to Bram Johnson, a tamer of ferocious animals leading a strange, semi-wild lifestyle, and “The Pursuit” tells of an unusual encounter and allows you to survive many dangers that tickle your nerves and take your breath away.
