The Voice of the Pack by Edison Marshall
"The Voice of the Pack" by Edison Marshall is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story centers on Dan Failing, a man aware of his impending death due to illness, as he seeks to reconnect with his ancestral roots in the wild landscapes of Oregon. The narrative poignantly delves into themes of nature, legacy, and self-discovery through Dan's journey back to the wilderness that his grandfather once traversed. At
the start of the novel, we are introduced to Dan Failing, who is grappling with the news from his doctor that he has only six months to live. The opening chapters depict his longing for connection to the wild as he reflects on his childhood dreams of hunting and the outdoors, a longing contrasted against his frail, city-bound existence. After deciding to leave his urban life behind, he travels to Oregon to spend his final months among the wilderness of his forefathers. As Dan arrives at the mountain home of Silas Lennox, he begins to sense the awakening of his innate instincts, further ignited when he encounters a squirrel and later a deer, leading him to feel a deep kinship with the natural world around him. Through these interactions, the story begins to explore his transformation from a sickly urbanite to a man re-embracing the call of the wild. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
