Kazan (Kazan and Baree #1)
DNF at 25%. I normally love books from the animal's point of view, but this did nothing for me.
Kazan, part dog and part wolf lives in the Canadian wilderness. The story is interestingly told from Kazan's point of view. Kazan encounters cruel owners and a human family he wants to protect. He is soon torn between the human family and Gray Wolf, his loyal mate. There are hardships as their pups are killed and Gray Wolf is blinded. She becomes dependent upon Kazan but aids him with her heightened sense of smell. Kazan is a touching story of wilderness life, hardships of the north country and
I am such a nature nerd to even read this book but I'm so glad I did because I really liked it. It kind reiterates how awful and cruel some people can be but also highlights that some people are good. But I liked the character Kazan and adore his relationship with White Wolf. I know anthropomorphism for animals isn't accurate at all but I like to believe that animals have their own thoughts, personality, and feelings, even if it's not on a human scale. They for sure have their own story and
I read this book in my childhood, but the impressions of what I read were so powerful, so heartrending, serious and important was the meaning of this book for me that I still have not lost that impression. When you read this book, you will love and appreciate wild animals even more.
While it was supposed to be a book about true wild animals, they had way too many human thoughts and feelings. Add on top of that a really odd spirituality that came into play in the final chapters of the book (gods of the woods and spirits of the north taking an active hand to control things).The main character's mate, a character around for most of the book, was a blind female wolf. The wolf had her eyes ripped out by a lynx; it was described as so bad that eventually the fur just grew over
For fans of Jack LondonAlthough definitely derivative of Jack London's wild dog books, Call of the Wild and White Fang, this is an excellent novel. The writing is consistently strong without resorting to archaic and/or complicated language and Curwood achieves a level of personification and pathos for his canine protagonist that betters either dog in London's two books (especially White Fang who is a difficult character to love). Furthermore, the author seems far more knowledgeable about animal

Narration Supposing Books Kazan (Kazan and Baree #1)
Classic wilderness adventure story by the American novelist and conservationist. "Kazan lay mute and motionless, his gray nose between his forepaws, his eyes half closed. A rock could have appeared scarcely less lifeless than he; not a muscle twitched; not a hair moved; not an eyelid quivered. Yet every drop of the wild blood in his splendid body was racing in a ferment of excitement that Kazan had never before experienced..."Describe About Books Kazan (Kazan and Baree #1)

This book is very interesting! I have read Call of the Wild by Jack London as well as White Fang by Jack London and loved both. I have also read Wolf: The Journey Home by Asta Bowen. Wolf: The Journey Home was a good book but very scientific with less creative writing, while White Fang by Jack London had a very good flow but the line between opinion, fact, and creative license often became blurred. Kazan by James O. Curwood created the ideal book between these two styles where the plot isDNF at 25%. I normally love books from the animal's point of view, but this did nothing for me.
