Description:"It is the extraordinary empathy of the protagonist of Maria Berg's Hermine: An Animal Life that coaxes the reader forward from one fractured fable to the next. Hermine's ability to be moved and terrified by the plight of the lowliest and most expendable creatures on the farm she grows up on is an empathy in short supply in her family, where Mother threatens to throw a frightened child to an angry sow. Hermine is the pariah of the human as well as the animal brood, but it is the animal life that will eventually hold redemptive promise for her because, as she tells a herd of war-addled deer, 'There is nothing in the world so wicked as humankind.' This novel shimmers darkly with the penumbra that haunts the 'visionary gleam' of childhood" Kellie Wells"How Angela Carter would have loved this chimaera--a bestiary and memory book in which creatures take on malefic and revelatory powers. Imagine Bruegel's rural scenes etched into the blackest of glass and held up to the moon. As our world empties of animals, this extraordinary book raises the question: how can our imagination survive their loss?" --Rikki DucornetWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
