Animalia retraces the history of a modest peasant family through
the twentieth century as they develop their small plot of land into
an intensive pig farm. In an environment dominated by the
omnipresence of animals, five generations endure the cataclysm of
war, economic disasters, and the emergence of a brutal
industrialism reflecting an ancestral tendency to violence. Only
the enchanted realm of childhood - that of Eleonore, the matriarch,
and that of Jerome, the last in the lineage - and the innate
freedom of the animals offer any respite from the visible barbarity
of humanity. Written in shifting prose that reflects the passage of
time, Animalia is a powerful novel about man's desire to conquer
nature and the transmission of violence from one generation to the
next.
