| Summary |
"Kazan susikoira: Seikkailukirja suurilta saloseuduilta" by James Oliver Curwood is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Kazan, a half-wolf, half-dog, as he navigates life in the wilderness, facing both the challenges of his dual nature and the relationships he develops with humans. The novel explores themes of survival, identity, and the bond between animals and people. At the start of the story, Kazan finds himself in a strange indoor environment, filled with human artifacts that intimidate him, a stark contrast to the wild he is accustomed to. He experiences a mix of fear and curiosity, particularly when a young woman named Isobel shows affection towards him, which elicits a profound sense of longing and connection. However, the presence of her male companion instills fear in Kazan, reminding him of the brutal treatment he has endured from men. The beginning sets up a conflict between Kazan's instinctual nature and his burgeoning feelings of love and loyalty towards Isobel, hinting at the complex journey ahead as he grapples with his identity and place in both worlds.
