Summary "Shasta of the Wolves" by Olaf Baker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young boy named Shasta, who is adopted by a wolf family after being found alone in the woods. The book explores themes of identity, belonging, and survival as Shasta grows and learns to navigate both the human and animal worlds. The opening of the book introduces us to Shasta's unusual upbringing, beginning with the old she-wolf Nitka discovering the abandoned human child in the forest. As Nitka brings Shasta back to her den, he becomes a part of her wolf family, playing and living with the cubs, while slowly adapting to his new life. The narrative vividly illustrates Shasta’s initial experiences in the wild, showcasing the beautiful yet harsh realities of nature and the instinctual behaviors that govern the lives of both the wolves and their human-like foster child. Through his playful interactions with the wolf cubs and the protective instincts displayed by Nitka, we see the foundations of Shasta’s dual identity begin to form.
