An epic Chinese tale, “Wolf Totem” depicts the dying culture of the Mongols–the ancestors of the Mongol hordes who at one time terrorized the world–and the parallel extinction of the animal they believe to be sacred: the fierce and otherworldly Mongolian wolf.

The biggest bestseller in China since Mao’s little red book, WOLF TOTEM tells the story of a Chinese academic who travels to the Mongolian steppes, where the tribal ways of life, and the local wolf packs, are endangered by the encroachment of development and environmental destruction.

Pinyin / Wade-Giles Pronunciation Guide

This guide is designed to allow you to search Chinese syllables written in both pinyin and Wade-Giles spellings, the two most predominant systems of romanization for Chinese characters used in English language documents. Wade-Giles, so-called after the two developers, is an older system sometimes used in Western academic and popular publications. Pinyin, developed and implemented in the People’s Republic of China in the 1950′s, is today the more widely used system.
