Farewell To The Horse by Ulrich Raulff
The Final Century of Our Relationship
A sweeping cultural history tracing how the horse shaped politics, warfare, economy, art, and everyday life in Europe before receding with the rise of mechanization. Drawing on archives, literature, and images, it explores cavalry and agriculture, urban streets and noble courts, and the symbolic power the animal held in philosophy and myth. With an elegiac tone, it chronicles the intimate bond between humans and horses while charting the social and technological forces that led to the animal’s eclipse in the 20th century.
