The Taxidermist is a novel written by Ludlow Fitz Hugh. The book tells the story of a taxidermist named Harry who is obsessed with preserving the beauty of nature. Harry's passion for taxidermy is so strong that he begins to collect and preserve not only animals, but also humans. As his obsession grows, Harry becomes increasingly isolated from the world around him, and his relationships with his family and friends begin to deteriorate.The novel is a dark and disturbing exploration of the human psyche and the lengths that people will go to in order to satisfy their obsessions. Through Harry's story, the book raises questions about the ethics of taxidermy, the relationship between humans and animals, and the nature of obsession itself.The Taxidermist is a gripping and thought-provoking read that will appeal to fans of psychological thrillers and literary fiction. With its haunting prose and vivid imagery, the book offers a unique and unsettling glimpse into the mind of a man consumed by his own passions. When the Flicker died, I felt that this only thing hitherto left to love me, could never reappear. The kind heart of the woman would beat again; the kind heart of the bird no more forever. And strangely enough, the whole sorrow that I had passed through for Miss Brentnall's loss revived, and I went about my day's work bearing the weight of a two-fold melancholy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
