A Caballo Entre Milenios
By Fernando Savater
I would like to recommend this book by the Spanish philosopher Fernando Savater, a passionate supporter of horses. The book takes us around the world via the best horse races, with first-hand accounts from the Spanish Gold Cup to the Epsom Derby, Kentucky Derby, Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and stretching from Japan to Buenos Aires.
A book that is essential reading, not just for horseracing but for cultural context from literature, cinema and politics at a time when Spain was still stricken by the terrorism of ETA.
