Animal speech

In her book, Dutch writer Eva Meijer explores the ways in which animals communicate with each other and with us. He wants to show the richness of animal languages and how they influence the way we think about them and language. It describes animal forms of communication in a colourful and entertaining way. He alternates scientific anecdotes with detailed analysis, personal experience with reflections on language and its functions. It describes the vocal expressions of dogs, dolphins or elephants, and also discusses forms of communication in ants or bees. In addition to the discovery of an almost unexplored world, he is also interested in the possibilities of understanding man and animals and the more general relationship between man and animal.

If you're lucky, you'll meet an animal that wants to talk to you. If you are even luckier, you will meet an animal that will take the time and effort to get to know you. With some animals you can establish a close relationship that can teach you a lot not only about the animal but also about yourself. Other animals see the world from their own perspective, and being able to see it through their eyes will enrich your life and teach you to see it differently.
