The men fascination for the wolf is as old, or even earlier, than the first human testimony transcribed by drawing, engraving or symbol.
The fact that the first signs up to give a prehistoric wolf, induces their observation is one of the first human to animal.

It is also remarkable that the coincidence of the symbolism attached to it and grow in all civilizations more structured and on all continents.
If the evolution of the symbol diverges thereafter under the assault of retrievals and manipulations related to the interest and power, nobody has been able to eradicate the prevalence of wolves in the popular imagery and symbolism as old as contemporary.
This book is both a eulogy of the wolf in the horizontal and vertical time, place and mind.
The wolf and his female, in their social organization and behavior clan, are the strange resonance of the human race.
It is therefore not surprising that this couple of animal had influenced our knowledge, observation, idolatry, the imaginary and religion of the human world.
Traceability of its coexistence with humans can be done through many different paths: rock drawings, mythologies, religions, legends, stories, psychology textbooks, comic strips, films and novels.
The difficulty to get a form of understanding, is to set these paths in parallel across time and different civilizations in the thread of symbolism fluctuating according to the evolution and the human necessity.
IEntering by  this way in the world of wolf-symbol, can draw relevant by the intersection of all these different paths leading to the same destination : respect for identity recognition. The wolf makes his reality through his symbolic or purely scientific representations.
Organized, monogamous, protector, respecting the clan hierarchy, traveler, predator by necessity, intelligent, detached, but secured his pack.
Already this brief description suggests an analogy with another evolved animal.
A reading is only useful if each reader can draw his own issues, developments and conclusions.
