But it was really that Chen has much to learn - about life in this infinite country, hostile and dizzy , on the notion of community, of freedom and responsibility, and the most feared and revered creature of the steppes - the wolf . Seduced by the complex and almost mystical link between these sacred creatures and shepherds , it captures a Cub to tame it.
