Bashan and I is the moving story of Thomas Mann's relationship with
his spirited German short-haired pointer. From their first
encounter at a local farm, Mann reveals how he slowly grows to love
this energetic, loyal, and intelligent animal. Taking daily walks
in the nearby parkland, Mann begins to understand and appreciate
Bashan as a living being, witnessing his native delight in chasing
rabbits, deer, and squirrels along with his careful investigations
of stones, fallen branches, and clumps of wet leaves. As their bond
deepens, Mann is led to contemplate Bashan's inner life, and
marvels at the ease with which his dog trusts him, completely
putting his life into his master's hands. Over time, the two
develop a deep mutual understanding, but for Mann, there is always
a sense of loss at never being able to enter the private world of
his dear friend, and he slowly becomes conscious of the eternal
divide between mankind and the rest of nature. Nonetheless, the
unique relationship quietly moves to the forefront of Mann's life,
and when master and companion are briefly separated, Mann is taken
aback by the depth of his loneliness without his dog. It is this
deep affection for another living creature that helps the writer to
reach a newfound understanding of the nature of love, in all its
complexity. First published in 1916 and translated into English in
1923, Bashan and I was heralded for its simple telling of how a dog
became a priceless companion, an animal who brought meaning to the
author's life.

too burst with a screech.
