- Synopsis
- A Lipizzan stallion's extraordinary life, as pampered favorite of Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph, until the onset of World War One reduces his circumstances to that of a common cab horse. No one can resist Florian's charm. A pure Lipizzan stallion raised and trained to perform in the elite Spanish Riding School, his exceptional talent has no trouble getting the attention of everyone who sees him. His two friends, Anton, a loyal and loving stable worker, and Bosco, an energetic and comical fox terrier, accompany him throughout his life. Together, the trio travel together through a changing and increasingly harsh world in the years from 1901 through World War I, and after. Felix Salten's story of a beautiful Lipizzan horse and his extraordinary life is vividly depicted in this book, which was written shortly before his acclaimed book, Bambi.
