Anthrozoology finds, in literature, a unique writer in Leo Tolstoy, by way of the tale Kolstomer , which tells the story of the relationship of a horse with human beings, and, mainly, his understanding of these relations. This interaction was theorized by Viktor Shklovsky in “Art as device”, in which he asserts that the purpose of art is that of the enstrangement of objects, which consists in complicating form, increasing the difficulty and the length of perception. However, as Shklovsky presents this enstrangement only in relation to men’s institution of property, the aim of this work is to capture, by way of the omniscient narrator, the elements which anticipate this process from the beginning of the tale onwards, as well as passages subsequent to the central part which retake it.Downloads
