It's so eerie sometimes, you read a book from the 90s and there it is, the PERFECT quote for what is going on TODAY - and it's from 1848!

For you English-speakers:
Epidemics are like giant danger signs on which the statesman can read clearly that his people's development is disrupted in a way that not even careless politics may ignore.

Sorry I didn't update.
I tried showing you the pictures from this book, but they are black-and-white, from the 90s and printed on the normal paper of this paperback edition so ... yeah.
What I can say is that the author's love for these animals is palpable and the book has made me cry several times already. Also, it's from 2001 ... guess how much has "improved" since then?

I wish I could read in German! Of course I would have to study other languages and I would melt into the floor 😂🤣. Thank you for adding the English section. And it is creepy. Foretelling the future 😳

*lol* Well, all I can say is that linguistics are worht it. But this book actually isn't German in its original form, it's just the version I bought all those years ago. So if you want to read this one, it's available in English. ;)
