He also felt the same brotherly feelings towards the animal world. This remarkable book offers a closer understanding of some specific mammals, fish and birds and, along the way, great insight into human nature as well.</p> <p>König considers the mythological and historical background, and unique characteristics, of elephants, bears, horses, cats and dogs; penguins, seals, dolphins, salmon and eels; and swans and stork, sparrows and doves. Together, the lively sketches form a visionary zoology.</p> <p>First published in English as three separate volumes.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'I'm sure you will realise how important this book is...
