| Summary | "The Way of the Wild" by F. St. Mars is a nature-filled narrative, likely written in the early 20th century. This work intricately explores the wild life and characteristics of various animals, emphasising the cunning and ferocity inherent in their existence. The main character introduced in the opening chapter is Gulo, the wolverine, characterized as a savage and intelligent beast, whose raw nature and relentless pursuit of survival offer a glimpse into the brutal reality of life in the wild. At the start of the story, readers meet Gulo standing in a cold pine forest, shrouded in darkness and preparing for the hunt. He encounters a dead wood-pigeon and notices signs of humans nearby, triggering a cautious yet instinctual response. The narrative paints a vivid picture of Gulo’s experience as he digs into a cache belonging to a hunter, showcasing his cleverness and unique behavior as he roams the night. Throughout this opening, the prose immerses readers into the forest atmosphere, revealing Gulo's life characterized by hunger, fear, and instinctive ferocity, establishing the thematic undercurrents of survival and the rawness of nature that resonates throughout the book.
