> Curwood dépeint ici l'amitié singulière née entre le chien Miki et l'ourson Nioua. Entre les espèces, les différences sont grandes! Et voilà que de dramatiques événements viennent encore séparer les deux amis. Mais Miki, le chien au grand cœur, cache sous des dehors féroces un ardent besoin de tendresse et de dévouement. Il n'a de cesse qu'il n'ait retrouvé son camarade Nioua l'ourson, au milieu des forêts et des solitudes…

" Si Makoki, el viejo indio de faz curtida, de la tribu de los Cree, hubiese conocido la historia de nuestros dos héroes, habría dicho con toda razón que Isku-Wapu, el dios de las bestias, velaba por Miki y por Niva de un modo particular", afirma J.O. Curwood, famoso autor de esta deliciosa novela.
Teniendo como fondo los incomparables paisajes de los bosques canadienses, las aventuras, divertidas unas, dramáticas otras, del oso Niva y su amigo el perro Miki, son relatadas con todo el cariño de este gran amante de los animales y la Naturaleza, testigo él mismo de la vida en la selva.
S hrdiny dobrodružného příběhu, psem a medvědem, prožívá čtenář četné napínavé příhody a proniká s nimi do nádherné severoamerické přírody, téměř ještě nedotčené a skýtající překvapení takřka na každém kroku.

James Oliver Curwood lived most of his life in Owosso, Michigan, where he was born on June 12, 1878. His first novel was The Courage of Captain Plum (1908) and he published one or two novels each year thereafter, until his death on August 13, 1927. Owosso residents honor his name to this day, and Curwood Castle (built in 1922) is the town's main show more tourist attraction. During the 1920s Curwood became one of America's best selling and most highly paid authors. This was the decade of his lasting classics The Valley of Silent Men (1920) and The Flaming Forest (1921). He and his wife Ethel were outdoors fanatics and active conservationists show less
