A HORSE S TALE
Résumé éditeur
A Horse's Tale" is a unique and humorous work by Mark Twain, narrated from the perspective of Buffalo Bill's horse. The story is set in the American West during the late 19th century and provides a satirical look at the events and characters of that time.
The novel's central character is Soldier Boy, Buffalo Bill's prized horse, who offers a witty and often sardonic commentary on the adventures and misadventures he experiences while serving as the steed of the famous frontiersman. Through Soldier Boy's eyes, readers are exposed to the quirks and foibles of the human characters he encounters, including Buffalo Bill himself, as well as Native American tribes, military figures, and various other individuals.
As Soldier Boy recounts his various escapades, the novel touches on themes such as the clash of cultures in the American West, the treatment of Native Americans, and the absurdities of human behavior. Twain's signature humor and wit are on full display as he uses the horse's perspective to lampoon societal norms and human folly.
"A Horse's Tale" is not as well-known as some of Twain's other works, but it offers an entertaining and unconventional narrative that provides insight into the author's satirical style and his fascination with the American frontier. It's a delightful read for those interested in Twain's unique storytelling and his ability to view the world through an unexpected lens.
