E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Roger Frank, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "The Heart of the Wild: Nature Studies from Near and Far" by S. L. Bensusan is a collection of nature-related essays written in the early 20th century. The work explores the lives and stories of various wild animals, illustrating their struggles, relationships, and habits through both narrative and observation. It captures the essence of the wild life around us, inviting readers to appreciate and reflect on the beauty and cruelty of nature. At the start of the narrative, Bensusan prefaces the collection with a letter to a friend, acknowledging a certain disdain for traditional naturalist accounts that avoid the harsh realities faced by wildlife. He introduces a few stories, beginning with the tale of a Golden Eagle and a Red Fox, who share a unique companionship amidst the wilderness. The tale unfolds as the eagle demonstrates his strength and prowess when hunting, while also contemplating the ongoing struggles and dangers of survival. The interactions set the stage for deeper reflections on nature, examining both the majesty and brutality of animal life in the wild.
