Slowly he opened his eyes and looked at his son without recognition. But what kind of bear stalks men -then vanishes without making the kill? What kind of bear plays with its prey? To the east, the sky was wolf grey. Thunder growled. In the stormy light, the trees were a brilliant green. Rain in the mountains, thought Torak numbly. Watch out for flash floods.

No!’ said his father with startling force. ‘All your life I’ve kept you apart. Even - from our own Wolf Clan. Stay away from men! If they find out -what you can do…’It is - possessed.’ His father’s face was grim; he didn’t seem like Fa anymore, ‘Some - demon - from the Otherworld -has entered it and made it evi1.’ I have just finished Wolf Brother and I love it. When Fa dies, Torak of the Wolf Clan thinks he has been left alone to defeat the demon bear who killed his Fa. But when Torak finds Renn and Wolf, he discovers he is not alone in this dangerous quest. Just before Fa died, he made Torak swear to either find the Mountain of the World Spirit and defeat the savage bear, or die trying. Because of course, Torak is the listener... that’s the best book ! i speak german and read it in german, and it’s the best book on the earth.! i love it so much.! and the another bands of “chronik der dunklen Wälder” was also very very great. i love it so! Torak was bewildered. Never before had his father talked like this. He was a practical man; a hunter. ‘I don’t understand any of this!’ he cried. ‘What guide? Why must I find the Mountain? Will I be safe there? Is that it? Safe from the bear?’

Doesn’t hurt,’ lied Torak. T he bear had thrown him against a birch tree, bruising his ribs and gashing his left forearm. Remember. When you’re hunting, look behind you. I - always tell you.’ He forced a smile. ‘You always - forget. Look behind you. Yes?Wolf Brother is a 2004 young adult novel by British writer Michelle Paver. The first installment in Paver’s Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series, Wolf Brother is set in the Stone Age. It follows twelve-year-old Torak and his wolf-cub companion on their quest to fulfill the dying wish of Torak’s father. Before they get to the Mountain of the World Spirit, the trio must locate the three pieces of the Nanuak; objects the World Spirit has imbued with power. The Nanuak pieces are found in a river, a cave, and in the hand of a dead man. Words cannot begin to describe how heart-wrenching this book is! When I found out what ‘The Listener gives his heart’s blood to the Mountain…’ meant, I cried and I will do so when I finish all of the books.

Born in Malawi in 1960 to a Belgian mother and a father who ran the tiny 'Nyasaland Times', Michelle Paver moved to the UK when she was three. She was brought up in Wimbledon and, following a Biochemistry Degree from Oxford, she became a partner in a big City law firm. His father’s eyes opened, and he gazed into the branches overhead, as if he saw things there that no-one else could. Torak is offered the chance to prove his innocence by dueling Hord. He defeats Hord by tipping a pot of broth onto a fire: the rising steam blinds his opponent. Fin-Kedinn and Saeunn, the Mage of the Raven Clan, hail Torak as the “Listener” foretold in a clan prophecy. The prophecy describes the Listener as someone who “talks with silence”—Torak’s dog whistle—and “fights with air” (the blinding steam). Wolf Brother is the first book in the series Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver. Wolf Brother takes place six thousand years ago during the Middle Stone Age, and tells the story of twelve-year-old Torak, a boy who can talk to wolves. The book was published in 2004 by Orion Children's Books.Waarom heetten ze Zieleneters?' vroeg hij, bijna zonder zijn lippen te bewegen. 'Aten ze echt zielen?' Suddenly death was upon them. A frenzy of claws. A welter of sound to make the ears bleed. In a heartbeat, the creature had smashed their shelter to splinters. In a heartbeat, it had ripped a ragged wound in his father’s side. Then it was gone, melting into the Forest as silently as mist. The book has been translated into Chinese, Spanish, French, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Vietnamese, Bulgarian, Japanese, German, Dutch, Swedish, Portuguese, Italian, Hebrew, Finnish, Norwegian, Russian, Serbian, Hungarian, Latvian, Danish, Indonesian, Romanian, Icelandic, Turkish, Slovenian and Faroese ( Faroe Islands).
