Sinossi
Timido Quintilio è un profeta e sa che una terribile minaccia sta per abbattersi sulla sua gente. Ma quando tenta di mettere in guardia il suo popolo, non viene creduto. In compagnia di un gruppo di fidi compagni, intraprende allora un viaggio alla conquista della libertà e di una nuova possibilità di vita. E se questo è lo scopo, che importa che Quintilio e i suoi amici siano conigli? Un romanzo epico con cui la letteratura contemporanea ricrea la sua "Iliade" e la sua "Odissea". Con la copertina realizzata da Will Staehle.

I don’t give a shit what Richard Adams says about his book because it simply isn’t true. According to him, in the preface of my edition, this is just a story about rabbits.

I read this book an age ago. Maybe 40 years ago the first time.

I remember when Watership Down was first published in 1972. It was a novel by an unknown English author, Richard Adams.

‘ Rabbits live close to death and when death comes closer than usual, thinking about survival leaves little room for anything else. ’ These rabbits don’t just fuck, they fuck each other up. I mean this is an absolutely wild, banger of a novel. When caught up in the action and anxieties of an epic tale, Leggi tutto
Animal farm on beta carotenoids Trying to anthropomorphize as much human cruelty as possible There is a dictatorship, torture, sex slavery, war, fundamentalism, and propaganda in a fluffy combination of shocking scenes. What is especially funny is that one associates wild rabbits with anything sweet Leggi tutto
