Sinopsi

Animal Dreamsácollects David BrooksâÇÖ thought-provoking essays about how humans think, dream and write about other species. Brooks examines how animals have featured in Australian and international literature and culture, from âÇÖThe Man from Snowy RiverâÇÖ to Rainer Maria Rilke andáThe Turin Horse, to live-animal exports, veganism, and the culling of native and non-native species. In his piercing, elegant, widely celebrated style, he considers how private and public conversations about animals reflect older and deeper attitudes to our own and other species, and what questions we must ask to move these conversations forward, in what he calls âÇÖthe immense work of undoingâÇÖ.For readers interested in animal welfare, conservation, and the relationship between humans and other species,áAnimal Dreamsáwill be an essential, richly rewarding companion.Praise foráAnimal DreamsâÇÖone of AustraliaâÇÖs most skilled, unusual and versatile writersâÇÖ- Peter Pierce,áThe Sydney Morning Herald.âÇÖNo one writes about animals like David Brooks.âÇÖ- Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson (author ofáThe Assault on Truth,áWhen Elephants WeepáandáLost Companions)âÇÖBeautifully written and emotionally and intellectually enthralling. The best book I have ever read on relations between humans and animals and the âÇÖredressâÇÖ we owe them. It makes you angry, it makes you weep, it makes you determined to rethink and to act.âÇÖ- Helen Tiffin, FAHA (co-author ofáThe Empire Writes BackáandáWild Man from Borneo: A Cultural History of the Orangutang)
