Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Imperial Russia's large wolf populations were demonized, persecuted, tormented, and sometimes admired. That Savage Gaze explores the significance of wolves in pre-revolutionary Russia utilizing the perspectives of cultural studies, ecocriticism, and human-animal studies. It examines the ways in which hunters, writers, conservationists, members of animal protection societies, scientists, doctors, government officials and others contested Russia's 'Wolf Problem' and the particular threat posed by rabid wolves.
