Brehm's Animal Life

Alfred Brehm was no ordinary scientist. Instead of dissecting dead animals in his native Thuringia, he sought out real animal life far away. For this purpose, he traveled to Africa, Lapland, Siberia and Spain, among other places, more than 150 years ago. He vividly described his findings in a ten-volume encyclopedia that made him abruptly famous. The special feature: In "Brehm's Animal Life," the author encounters the animals like his fellow human beings, empathetically and open-mindedly. From the alpine whistling hare to the domestic dog to the leopard, Thomas Holtzmann reads a selection from this classic of nature writing. Reading with Thomas Holtzmann 1 mp3-CD | ca. 4 h 51 min.
