The spellbinding new book by the prizewinning writer Kapka Kassabova
tells the story of her time with the last moving pastoralists in
Europe: a gripping portrayal of human-animal interdependence, and a
plea for a different way of living.
Living with one of these communities over the course of one summer,
Kassabova experiences the intensity, brutality, beauty and isolation of
their existence. She witnesses the epic, orchestrated activity of
transhumance – the seasonal movement of vast herds of sheep, along with
shepherds and dogs. As she becomes attuned to the sacrifices inherent
in this work and the rich histories that shaped this Balkan region,
Kassabova finds herself drawn deeper into the tangled relationships at
the heart of the small community.
Anima is an extraordinary portrayal of pastoral life, where humans and
animals exist in profound interdependence. Kassabova conjures the
spirit of this remarkable place with intimacy and empathy, and helps us
imagine how we might all begin to heal our broken relationship with the
natural world.
