On June 17, 2012 at 11:18 a.m., a young woman is found dead inside one of the wolf enclosures at Kolmården Zoo. The 30-year-old guide had entered alone that morning when the animals suddenly attacked her. What really happened in the wolf pen in Kolmården in June 2012 is a mystery. Also, how the extinct Swedish wolf was able to suddenly return to Swedish forests in the mid-1980s. "The Hour of the Wolf" is a book about obsession, ambition and greed, but also a book about people who want to do the good, they want to save the world. About how Nature has become an industry of experiences; about when the wild became the object of our projections and our ideas about good and evil. On how a society should be organized and man's desire to control Nature. A zoo and what happens in it says much more about us, humans, than about the animals confined there. After all, they are just animals. Animals that follow their instinct. But above all, it is a book about what really happened in the wolf compound that Sunday. And about how it could happen.
