The Last Wild Horses: Maja Lunde on Her “Climate Quartet”

Horses hold a special mystique: poetry in motion, wildness and discipline in equal measure, an untamed spirit tempered by sculptural beauty and lightning-bolt speed. What if the most beautiful of the world’s horses were to go extinct? Maja Lunde, one of the most celebrated Norwegian authors of her generation, has penned a hugely bestselling series of novels (more than 4 million copies worldwide) called her “Climate Quartet,” each a global story with elements of history, travel, science, and dystopia. Deeply researched and gorgeously written, The Last Wild Horses is the third in the series (after A History of Bees and The End of the Ocean) and moves between places and centuries as three sets of characters strive to save the fabled Przewalski horse, a wild Mongolian breed. Ride off the beaten path with a work of art Booklist calls “another riveting, thrilling, and powerful installment from internationally renowned Lunde.”
