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, award-winning historian Ulrich Raulff chronicles the dramatic story of this most spectacular creature, thoroughly examining how they've been muses and brothers in arms, neglected and sacrificed in war yet memorialized in paintings, sculpture, and novels--and ultimately marginalized on racetracks and in pony clubs. Elegiac and absorbing, \u003cem\u003eFarewell to the Horse\u003c\/em\u003e paints a stunning panorama of a world shaped by hooves, and the imprint left on humankind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A beautiful and thoughtful exploration. . . . \u003cem\u003eFarewell to the Horse\u003c\/em\u003e is a grown-up, but also lyrical and creative, history book, and I very much enjoyed it.\"-- James Rebanks, author of the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller \u003cem\u003eThe Shepherd's Life\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631494321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2017 pg. 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2018 pg. 121\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ulrich Raulff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44576551305397,"sku":"9781631494321","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0084cd4f-eb9a-4863-a747-1a1c2df80824.jpg?v=1724175705","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/farewell-to-the-horse-a-cultural-history-9781631494321","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
