They lose their teeth, forget their language, until finally they're bending meekly on the fields and cutting straw with a scythe. Leemut, a young boy growing up in the forest, is content living with his hunter-gatherer family.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut when incomprehensible outsiders arrive aboard ships and settle nearby, with an intriguing new religion, the forest begins to empty - people are moving to the village and breaking their backs tilling fields to make bread. Meanwhile, Leemut and the last forest-dwelling humans refuse to adapt: with bare-bottomed primates and their love of ancient traditions, promiscuous bears, and a single giant louse, they live in shacks, keep wolves, and speak to snakes. Told with moving and satirical prose, The Man Who Spoke Snakish is a fiercely imaginative allegory about a boy, and a nation, standing on the brink of dramatic change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr\u003e Published: UK, 2017\u003cbr\u003e Publisher:Grove Press \/ Atlantic Monthly Press\u003cbr\u003e Pages: 448\u003cbr\u003e Language: English\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 13: 9781611855272\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 10: 1611855276\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrus Kivirahk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43791372484874,"sku":"","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9781611855272.jpg?v=1666264120","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-man-who-spoke-snakish","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
