Bashan and I is the moving story of Thomas Mann's relationship with his spirited German short-haired pointer. From their first encounter at a local farm, Mann reveals how he slowly grows to love this energetic, loyal, and intelligent animal. Taking daily walks in the nearby parkland, Mann begins to understand and appreciate Bashan as a living being, witnessing his native delight in chasing rabbits, deer, and squirrels along with his careful investigations of stones, fallen branches, and clumps of wet leaves. As their bond deepens, Mann is led to contemplate Bashan's inner life, and marvels at the ease with which his dog trusts him, completely putting his life into his master's hands.

4.5 (Muito bom)

Thomas Mann é incrivelmente descritivo na narrativa acerca de Bashan, seu cachorro de estimação. O autor, mais do que em suas mais conhecidas obras, investe nos detalhes e longas descrições de cenas cotidianas.

As relações entre homem e cão são brilhantemente exploradas durante toda a obra que, apesar de contar com um claro início, não é muito demarcada por um meio ou fim.
