Boleslaw Prus, horse, workhorse, equestrianism, animal rightsAbstract
This article treats the motif of the horse present abundantly in Bolesław Prus’s fiction, correspondence and journalism. As represented in Prus’s literary output, the horse is a participant in the everyday life, pastime and work of people living in the second half of the 19th century. Ewa Krzakowska-Łazuka discusses the following topics associated with horses and explored by Prus over the years: recreational horse-riding as Warsaw sports, horse racing, horse breeding, public transport, farm labor, the activity of charity organizations aimed at improving the fate of horses in the urban environment. She also makes an attempt to explain the author’s ethically motivated protest encoded in his images of abuse and exploitation of workhorses.
