The World Ends in a Neigh (Hirnuva maailmanloppu)

A wild and rib-tickling story that combines Orwellian dystopia with talking horses and social satire.

Thanks to local vet Tarmo Saamakorpi, Huru-Aaroni the horse has learnt to speak. And it’s not long before horse breeder Ossi Huikkola’s whole stud are talking. As the turn of the millennium approaches, a rumour about the end of the world leads to panic among the community of horses. Exploring life from the perspectives of both horse and man, Paasilinna tells a hilarious story with surprising depth.
