Cow is the story of a Spanish agricultural labourer, Ambrosio, who
goes to Switzerland as a Gastarbeiter. He is bound for Innenwald, a
village in the Swiss highlands, and the novel begins as he is about
to spend a summer working for Farmer Knuchel. It ends in the
abattoir of the neighbouring city, at the end of the seven hard
years of labour that have destroyed him. There he sees Blosch, the
once magnificent lead cow on Knuchel's farm, now a sad, condemned
creature in the abattoir. Cow was acclaimed as a contemporary
classic on first publication. Now more than ever it must be read as
a book of archaic power about man, his work and his food and, most
importantly, as a damning indictment of the relationship between
man and the animal world.
