Beschreibung
The horse has walked alongside humans since time immemorial. Agriculture could not have existed without it; it connected cities and countries and decided wars. However, the centaur pact eventually fell apart, and within just a century, the horse vanished from history, of which it had been an inseparable part for millennia. The exodus of the horse from human history is a process that surprisingly occurred almost unnoticed. Entire libraries dealing with the history of the 19th and 20th centuries are silent about the horse, even though it was ubiquitous in both Europe and America. With the rise of Napoleon began the last century of horses, which then faded with the First World War. In his book, Ulrich Raulff plays out all the registers of cultural and literary history and, with admirable storytelling skill, describes a world that has reached its end. Ulrich Raulff compellingly narrates the story of farewell, the story of the separation of man and horse.
