Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A surprising, lively, and erudite history of horse and man, for readers of The Invention of Nature and The Soul of an Octopus.Horses and humans share an ancient, profoundly complex relationship. Once our most indispensable companions, horses were for millennia essential in helping build our cities, farms, and industries. But during the twentieth century, in an increasingly mechanized society, they began to disappear from human history. In this esoteric and rich tribute, awardwinning historian Ulrich Raulff chronicles the dramatic story of this most spectacular creature, thoroughly examining how theyve been muses and brothers in arms, neglected and sacrificed in war yet memorialized in paintings, sculpture, and novelsand ultimately marginalized on racetracks and in pony clubs. Elegiac and absorbing, Farewell to the Horse paints a stunning panorama of a world shaped by hooves, and the imprint left on humankind.A beautiful and thoughtful exploration. . . . Farewell to the Horse is a grownup, but also lyrical and creative, history book, and I very much enjoyed it.
