Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A novel for readers of literary fiction, historical fiction, and political satire. Contains time travel, British humour, philosophy, and a sheep with opinions on grass.*Some books are hard to describe. This is one of them.It spans two thousand years, crosses six eras, and arrives at Delphi at…night when the tourists have gone home. It contains a government veterinarian, a talking sheep, and the same mistake, made with complete sincerity by everyone who was absolutely certain they would not make it.The afternoon tea will explain.Sheep: Classified is best approached like a proper English afternoon tea.The sandwiches look modest. One untagged sheep. One government veterinarian named, with no apparent irony, Dr Shepherd. One crop circle in Wiltshire with a perfectly reasonable explanation, which is to say, an explanation that explains rather less than it intends to.Then the scones arrive. Two thousand years of them. Elizabethan Warwickshire. Rome. Venice. And elsewhere. A sheep is present throughout. She was present before the record begins, and the record, until now, has been classified.The clotted cream is philosophy. The jam is politics.The milk is the version that survived. The sugar is what we add afterwards to make it easier to swallow. The petit fours are the people you think you recognise. You will.The tea itself, holding everything together, is a sheep who speaks only when necessary, and has been doing so for considerably longer than the record shows.You have already picked up the cup. Milk or sugar?*There was a cat.It sat inside a box. Alive, or dead.You would never know without looking.This book contains a sheep.It exists, or it doesn't.It is worth reading, or it isn't.You would never know without looking.But you have already looked. A government vet and a highly rational sheep cross six eras and two thousand years in a literary time-travel novel of history, power, language, memory, political satire and British humour.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the summer of 2026, a classified file is released. It had been sealed seven years earlier, to be opened only after Dr Francis Shepherd was gone from this version of events. His solicitor had already warned him what it could cost him.The… file begins with what should have been a routine job for a government veterinarian: an untagged sheep in a Wiltshire field.The sheep talks and she remembers things she could not possibly have witnessed.What follows stretches across two thousand years, from Rome in 58 BC to Elizabethan England, a failed utopian experiment in America in 1826, 1930s London, Venice in 1500, Delphi, and a celebrity trial in 2005 where the public has begun reaching its own conclusions before the court delivers a verdict.The places, arguments and circumstances are different, but Dr Shepherd begins to notice that some things have a habit of returning. The Sheep, apparently, has known this for quite some time.What connects a witch trial, a failed utopia, political idealism, public accusation, and an untagged sheep that keeps turning up in the wrong century Each chapter enters a different period and has a story of its own, while Shepherd's journey continues through them all. Events in one period sometimes cast a different light on another, and something that seemed unimportant fifty pages ago may turn out not to have been so unimportant after all.There is history here, and satire, time travel, philosophy and dry British humour. There is also a Sheep with very little patience for authority and opinions about grass.Think of it as a buffet, the good kind you get on cruise ships. There is plenty to choose from, and not every dish has to be for everyone. Take what appeals to you and leave what does not. That is rather the point of a buffet.There are questions about history, truth, power, memory, and our remarkable ability to repeat ourselves while insisting that this time is completely different.There was a cat. It sat inside a box. Alive or dead, the answer waited for someone to look.This book contains a sheep whose status remains classified.Open the file.
