Three-Legged Horse
|
| Three-Legged Horse |
In his first book to be translated into English, Taiwanese author Cheng Ch'ing-wen offers 12 moving tales about city and village, man and woman, child and parent. Like the "twisted apples" of Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, another powerful book about small-town life, many of Ch'ing-wen's characters are subtly deformed by suffering, loneliness, or misunderstanding. "Three-Legged Horse" follows "White-Nosed Raccoon," driven to become a Japanese informer after his own people relentlessly mock his birthmark. "He wanted this prison cell to contain the whole of society," he concludes, while serving as a janitor for the police. Later, after his wife's death and the Japanese defeat, the guilt-stricken man begins a strange kind of penance, carving lame horses that "emanated pain and remorse." In "The River Suite," the "best boatman in Old Town" is commended twice for his bravery in saving drowning neighbors, yet never works up the courage to speak to the woman he loves. A tyrannical mother-in-law separates the protagonist of "Autumn Night" from her husband. The wife undertakes a heroic nighttime journey to visit him on his birthday, only to turn around once she arrives so she won't be missed. Rendered with quiet, Chekhovian simplicity, these are stories of a vanishing world--and yet they resonate with universal truths. --Mary Park

| Dancer on the Grass: True Stories About Horses and People |
The paradox of horses is that they do not have to carry us, but they agree to do so, according to author Teresa Martino, a horse lover and philosopher to the core. "Why is this?" Martino asks rhetorically. "The horse gives their consent and brings a grounding that humanity craves. The horses carry the power of the wildness that graciously allows us to fly above the land." In this unique memoir Martino tells the stories of all the horses she has ever loved, weaving her memories into a sage-like narrative that examines the spiritual and passionate relationships between humans and horses. Recalling a mare from her girlhood, Martino writes: "With Sunny I experienced what the Greek historian and commander Xenophen called the 'divine sensation.' The feeling of oneness and power that you share with the horse when you both understand one and another and move together in balance.... I was no longer a dusty child in cut-offs ... I was Artemis chasing deer, my bow to shoulder under the ancient moon." What makes this memoir especially readable and important is that Martino also understands human-to-human relationships--whether she's exploring her own Native American roots, dealing with mysterious sightings of her deceased father, or accepting her own limitations as a rider. This is one wise soul and strong storyteller--an excellent book for any lover of horses and life. --Gail Hudson

| Black Beauty (Whole Story Series, 14) |
| A horse is a horse of course unless of course the horse is Black Beauty. Animal-loving children have been devoted to Black Beauty throughout this century, and no doubt will continue through the next. Although Anna Sewell's classic paints a clear picture of turn-of-the-century London, its message is universal and timeless: animals will serve humans well if they are treated with consideration and kindness. Black Beauty tells the story of the horse's own long and varied life, from a well-born colt in a pleasant meadow to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman to a painfully overworked cab horse. Throughout, Sewell rails--in a gentle, 19th-century way--against animal maltreatment. Young readers will follow Black Beauty's fortunes, good and bad, with gentle masters as well as cruel. Children can easily make the leap from horse-human relationships to human-human relationships, and begin to understand how their own consideration of others may be a benefit to all. (Ages 9 to 12)
