Author: SCRUTON, ROGER
Modern people are as given to loving, fearing, fleeing, and pursuing other species as were their hunter-gatherer forebears. In fox-hunting, they join together with their most ancient friends among the animals to pursue an ancient enemy.
The feelings stirred by hunting are explored by writer and philosopher Roger Scruton, in a book that is both illuminating and deeply personal. Drawing on his own experiences of hunting and offering a delightful portrait of the people and animals who take part in it, Scruton introduces the reader to some of the mysteries of country life.
Key Highlights:
- Personal Insights: Scruton shares his own experiences of hunting, making the narrative both engaging and authentic.
- Portraits of Participants: A vivid depiction of the people and animals involved in this ancient practice.
- Exploration of Country Life: The book unveils the hidden mysteries and traditions of rural living.
- A Plea for Tolerance: Scruton advocates for understanding a sport where the love of animals prevails over their pursuit.
- Nature as the Drama’s Center: The beauty and complexity of Nature take center stage in this compelling narrative.
This book is a deeply personal and thought-provoking reflection on a tradition where Nature herself becomes the heart of the drama.
