Elephants, Bears, Horses, Cats, and Dogs

by Karl König, Richard Aylward

Nothing quite comparable on animals can be found anywhere else. The unique insights of anthroposophy, the mythological archetypes, the scientific wonders are all infused with much compassion and understanding for the true being of animals. König's "imaginative zoology" leads us to experience new horizons of consciousness and offers amazing insights into human nature. During the last ten years of his life, König worked on a series of essays about animals. These have been published in three separate volumes, of which this title is the third and last.
