Thomas Mann

Bashan and I

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Every day, a writer and his dog set out together-through the river meadows near Munich, along familiar paths where the seasons mark their passage and small dramas unfold in the natural world. But this is no ordinary tale of man's best friend. In Bashan, a hunting dog of uncertain pedigree and boundless enthusiasm, Thomas Mann finds both a loyal companion and an endlessly fascinating subject for contemplation. As they ramble through the landscape together, Mann observes his four-legged friend with the same penetrating insight he brings to his greatest works-noting Bashan's quirks and rituals, his hunting instincts and simple joys, the vast gulf and surprising intimacy between human consciousness and animal nature. What emerges is a meditation on companionship across species, on the rhythms of daily life, and on the mystery of mutual devotion that requires no words. With warmth, gentle humor, and philosophical depth, Mann transforms routine walks into a profound exploration of loyalty, understanding, and the quiet contentments that sustain us. A gem of autobiographical writing from one of the twentieth century's literary giants-intimate, wise, and deeply humane. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.
