Kholstomer
"Kholstomer" (), also translated as "Strider", is a novella by Leo Tolstoy that has been referred to as "one of the most striking stories in Russian literature". It was started in 1863 and left unfinished until 1886, when it was reworked and published as "Kholstomer: The Story of a Horse". The story exploits the technique of defamiliarization by adopting the perspective of a horse to expose some of the irrationalities of human conventions.
