Attingendo da una vita di lavoro con bestiame e cavalli nei paesi in via di sviluppo, questo autore offre una prospettiva unica sulla connessione dell'umanità con il mondo naturale. I suoi numerosi viaggi lo hanno portato da ardui percorsi attraverso paesaggi africani alla gestione di stimati allevamenti di stalloni in tempi di conflitto. Osserva attentamente la vita degli animali da lavoro e delle persone che da essi dipendono in diversi contesti globali, dai margini urbani alle comunità rurali remote. I suoi scritti, permeati da intuizioni acquisite dall'esperienza diretta e da un profondo apprezzamento per la vita vernacola, esplorano queste profonde relazioni con un distintivo potere narrativo.

In the depths of winter, Jeremy James began a horseback ride from central Turkey to his hometown in Wales in a journey which was to take him eight and a half months. First he had to find his horse, an unlikely old and weary Arab stallion who eventually rose up to his challenge with equal spirit as his new master. With uncertain mastery of their route, the two of them crossed rivers and mountains to reach the Greek border. Here their close bond had to break and Jeremy was forced to buy Maria, an unbroken filly who he rode to the Italian border and changed her for Gonzo, who took him on the idyllic stretch through Umbria and Tuscan. Crossing the Alps together, they rode through late-summer France to reach Wales in November. Jeremy writes with humour and sensitivity about the people and places this journey takes him to, but his bond with his horses is the thread which binds the narrative and infuses the whole adventure.
