Molto piacevole ed interessante, una sintetica storia del gatto attraverso le sue rappresentazioni nell'arte principalmente pittorica

Questo libro, forse, è un po' invecchiato, e in qualche punto, forse, non troppo convincente, ma gli resta un grande merito: quello di aver assestato dei colpi ben piazzati al piedistallo su cui l'Homo Sapiens ha innalzato se stesso.
