Sinossi
Eliot sostiene che ogni gatto deve avere tre nomi: un nome sensato, "a scopo familiare", un nome più dignitoso che gli permetta di "mettere in mostra i baffi" e "mantenere la coda perpendicolare", e infine "il Nome", che solo il gatto può conoscere. Tra Pelastinco Rotella de' Binario e Brunero, tra un Gattatràc e un Gattafascio, vedremo così sfilare gatti dai caratteri più disparati, ma nessuno arriva all'"evidenza luminosa di quel primo gatto accoccolato sulla soglia del libro" a contemplare il proprio Nome. Il libro che ha ispirato Cats, uno dei musical più amati di tutti i tempi.

If you're a cat-lover (as I am), then this is a must-read for you! This is a charming book written in verse, and each chapter is dedicated to a different kind of cat with its own kind of personality. This just goes to show how many personalities a cat can really have and I loved it :)
You now have learned enough to seeThat Cats are much like you and me Okay, after I finished reading this classic, I decided to gird the proverbial loins and watch the Tom Hooper movie for the first time. Well aware of how awful and derisive the reviews had been, I fortified myself with a good few gla Leggi tutto
