Searching for spirituality in 1960s China during the Cultural Revolu-
tion, Beijing intellectual Chen Zhen travels to the pristine grasslands
of Inner Mongolia to live among the nomadic Mongols--the descen-
dants of the Mongol hordes who once terrorized the world. At the
core of their beliefs is the notion of a triangular balance between the
earth, man, and the fierce, otherworldly Mongolian wolf whose fates
are all intricately linked. The few wolves that remain haunt the steppes
locked with the nomads in a profoundly spiritual battle for survival.
But when the peace is shattered by the intrusion of modernity, the
age-old balance is disrupted, and life on the grasslands will never be
the same. Part period epic, part fable for modern days, Wolf Totem is a
heady immersion into the heart of Chinese and Mongolian culture. |
