A moving epic about extinction and hope that tells the story of the fight to save wild horses and preserve nature through the destinies of three families across three different centuries.
The Last of Its Kind is the third novel in the immensely successful "Climate Quartet" by Norwegian author Maja Lunde, one of today’s most widely read contemporary writers. Following the bestsellers The History of Bees and The End of the Ocean, the author turns her attention to endangered wildlife and humanity's responsibility toward nature through a moving story about Przewalski's horses—the world's last remaining species of wild horse. The narrative weaves together three storylines set in different eras. In 1881 St. Petersburg, the zoologist Mikhail embarks on an expedition to Mongolia to save these untamed horses. In 1992 Svalbard, the veterinarian Karin dedicates her life to reintroducing the species to its natural habitat. In a desolate Norway in 2064—a world ravaged by climate collapse—Lou struggles to survive with her daughter while caring for the last remaining horses on an abandoned farm. Lunde masterfully blends historical fiction, contemporary drama, and a dystopian vision of the future. Through powerful, complex characters, the novel offers profound reflections on parenthood, loneliness, the human drive to dominate nature, and the relentless power of hope in the fight against extinction.
