China’s runaway bestseller and winner of the inaugural
Man Asian Literary Prize
Published in China in
2004, Wolf Totem has broken all sales records,
selling millions of copies (along with millions more on the
black market).. Part period epic, part fable for modern
days, Wolf Totem depicts the dying culture of the
Mongols—the ancestors of the Mongol hordes who at one time
terrorized the world—and the parallel extinction of the
animal they believe to be sacred: the fierce and
otherworldly Mongolian wolf. Beautifully translated by
Howard Goldblatt, the foremost translator of Chinese
fiction, this extraordinary novel is finally available in
English.
