An autobiographical memoir from Laurens Van Der Post, which touches on many of the deepest human issues. This book tells the story of a horse rescued from labour to become a champion showjumper, mirroring an incident in Sir Laurence's own childhood. From it he knits together reflections on dreams, mythology, the primoridal links between humans and horses, the innate role of the feminine, and the creative potential of suffering. The result is a book which confronts the lack of human spirituality in our time and conveys a message of hard-won but vibrant optimism. The author also wrote "Yet Being Someone Other", "Lost World of the Kalahari", "Venture to the Interior", "Far-Off Place" and "Story Like the Wind".
