For tens of thousands of years wild horses roamed over thegrasslands of Europe and Asia. Their endurance and agility madethem the perfect partner for man during his conquest of the world.The loss of importance of the domesticated horses for thecavalries of the world coincided with the disappearance of thelast horses from the wild. Around 1900 some wealthy collectorsrushed to the edge of the Gobi desert to catch a few specimen fromthe last marginalised groups of the proud horse that scientistsbaptised the `Przewalski's horse', after the Polish explorer whohas discovered them. Only twelve of these captured wild horseslive on in their present offspring.In the 1970s the Dutch couple Jan and Inge Bouman decided todedicate their life to the ideal of bringing the Przewalski'shorse back to the wild. This book tells their success story. Itmarks a breakthrough in the way we look at reintroduction projectsof endangered species. The Przewalski's horse or `Takh', as theMongolians call it, has played a catalytic role for the protectionof the mountain steppe ecosystem of Hustai National Park and itssurroundings. It paved the way for the development of integratedpasture management and livelihood improvement of the localherdsmen.

Translated into 40 languages, winner of the Norwegian Bookseller’s Prize, and the most successful Norwegian author of her generation, Maja Lunde returns with a heart-wrenching tale, set in the distant past and the dystopian future, about extinction and survival, family and hope. Mikhail lives in Russia in 1881. When a skeleton of a rare wild horse is brought to him, the zoologist plans an expedition to Mongolia to find the fabled Przewalski horse, a journey that tests not only his physicality, but his heart.In 1992, Karin, alongside her troubled son Mathias and several Przewalski horses, travels to Mongolia to re-introduce the magnificent horses to their native land. The veterinarian has dedicated her life to saving the breed from extinction, prioritizing the wild horses, even over her own son. Europe’s future is uncertain in 2064, but Eva is willing to sacrifice nearly everything to hold onto her family’s farm. Her teenage daughter implores Eva to leave the farm and Norway, but a pregnant wild mare Eva is tending is about to foal. Then, a young woman named Louise unexpectedly arrives on the farm, with mysterious intentions that will either bring them all together, or devastate them one by one. Spanning continents and centuries, The Last Wild Horses is a powerful tale of survival and connection—of humans, animals, and the indestructible bonds that unite us all. Translated from the Norwegian by Diane Oatley

From Philip Kerr, the New York Times bestselling author of the Bernie Gunther novels, comes a breathtaking journey of survival in the dark days of WWII in Ukraine, a country that remains tumultuous today. This inspiring tale captures the power of the human spirit and is perfect for fans of The Book Thief, Milkweed, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It will soon be another cold winter in the Ukraine. But it's 1941, and things are different this year. Max, the devoted caretaker of an animal preserve, must learn to live with the Nazis who have overtaken this precious land. He must also learn to keep secrets—for there is a girl, Kalinka, who is hiding in the park. Kalinka has lost her home, her family, her belongings—everything but her life. Still, she has gained one small, precious gift: a relationship with the rare wild and wily Przewalski's horses that wander the preserve. Aside from Max, these endangered animals are her only friends—until a Nazi campaign of extermination nearly wipes them out for good. Now Kalinka must set out on a treacherous journey across the frozen forest to save the only two surviving horses—and herself.
