Re: Human/Animal Transformation

The only book I have read recently that deals with the subject at length is Phillip Pullman's "Dark Materials" trilogy in which the animal spirits are a staple of the book, frequently transforming until adulthood at which point they remain static.

On my quest for ever more human/animal tales I came up with "Legends of the Fall". I never realized it when I first saw the movie but the fate of Tristan is strongly tied to the fate of the bear. Had a great link on the topic but I lost it somewhere along the way. Tristian is supposed to represent a sort of "wild man" archetype, more ruled by his intense instinctual nature and his emotions than by reason.
