Lone Wolf: Walking the Faultlines of Europe with Adam Weymouth

Join us for a captivating evening with Adam Weymouth, the award-winning author of Lone Wolf: Walking the Faultlines of Europe, as he takes us on an unforgettable journey through Europe’s mountainous wilderness.

In 2011, a young wolf named Slavc embarked on an extraordinary thousand-mile journey from Slovenia through the Alps, sparking a story that would intertwine with the larger questions of politics, environmental change, and the forces shaping Europe today. In Lone Wolf, Weymouth retraces Slavc’s steps, offering readers a powerful exploration of Europe’s wild hinterlands in a time of rapid transformation.

From the urgency of rewilding to the tension between nationalism and globalisation, from climate change to the human migration crisis, this evening promises a thought-provoking and deeply human account of the challenges facing Europe. Weymouth’s rich storytelling and keen observations make Lone Wolf an essential read for anyone fascinated by nature, culture, and the forces that shape our world.

‘A deeply fascinating story, grippingly told. ‘ Robert Macfarlane

‘Thoughtful, empathetic. . .his pen portraits are vivid and acute. . .Kings of the Yukon was a fabulous debut. Weymouth’s writing has darkened and matured since. If he keeps going like this, the next book will be extraordinary.’ SUNDAY TIMES

‘A bold, beautiful, confronting journey charting a continent buckling under social and environmental pressure. A book about a wolf, about love and hate, and our conflicted relationship with nature and our fellow human beings.’ Isabella Tree, author of WILDING
