Me encanta este tipo de sarcasmo y leer críticas a la humanidad. Tengo un gato y, a veces, cuando éste me mira fijamente, como observando todo el ambiente que lo rodea, no puedo menos que indagarme en qué piensa. Creo que gracias a Soseki ahora puedo hacerme una ligera idea de lo pasa por la mente de mi gato (y esto es un sarcasmo). It’s the perfect Pied Piper scam, and everything is going great. Until they arrive at the town of Bad Blinitz, that is. You honestly cannot go wrong with nonfiction books about cats set in the library. Plus, if you are looking for cat books for young readers, know that there’s a special edition just for them.

Acompañan a estos personajes principales otros verdaderamente valiosos como lo son el señor Suzuki, la criada Osan, la esposa del profesor Kushami y otros gatos amigos del narrador llamados Kuro y Mikeko. I read this when I was a student (in the original Japanese version). After seeing it mentioned in How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read, I'm tempted to reread it. Going through a rough patch herself, Myron (and the library) take in Dewey where he thrives for almost two decades. Este entrañable gato tiene por objetivo "seguir recopilando material para este libro una monografía sobre ese animal de extrañas costumbres llamado ser humano." An excellent period piece satire on the ever more enlightened Japan that the characters were living in, I Am A Cat is an essential read for anyone with, a)an interest in humour and b)an interst in Japan turned into the place it is today.During one hot springtime in 1930s Russia, a strange group arrives in Moscow: the Devil and his retinue; they’ve come to bring chaos to those who refuse to believe in religion. Homer the Blind Wonder Cat (1997-2013) was an eyeless cat who served as the inspiration for the 2009 New York Times bestselling memoir Homer’s Odyssey: A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned about Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat, written by Gwen Cooper.It detailed Cooper's life with an abandoned, eyeless cat that she rescued when he was three weeks old and subsequently named Homer. The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents is perfect for anyone looking for lighthearted books with cats as main characters. Soy un gato es la historia de un gato, sin nombre, que llega a vivir a la casa del maestro Kushami (ya ni recuerdo cómo llegó allí). Desde ese lugar se relacionará con otros gatos (no mucho, la verdad) y con las amistades (si se pueden llamar así) del maestro. Busca mostrar desde su perspectiva (satírica y llena de humor) la sociedad japonesa de aquella época (principios del siglo XX). Todo muy bien, los personajes están desarrollados sin ser caricaturescos, aunque sí graciosos. Pero son taaaaan insoportables, fastidiosos y arrogantes, que de verdad me da miedo pensar que los seres humanos seamos realmente así. Creo que se salva un poco la señora Kushami, porque me causaba gracia el hecho de que le respondiera al esposo y, de cierta forma, no se dejara amedentrar. De resto, un montón de hombres divagando sobre nada. Tenemos al maestro que va de intelectual, pasivo, reflexivo, cerrado y extraño. Meitei en cambio es bromista, superficial y no se toma nada en serio, además de que tiene un morreo que se lo pisa. Kangetsu, joven idealista en busca del doctorado. Toito, aspirante a poeta, amante del arte y de la belleza. Dokusen, muy versado en el zen y en la enseñanzas de los sabios ancestrales, o al menos de boquilla. Y algunos más.

The book also delves into Homer's later years, where he served as a big brother of sorts to a new special-needs kitten who would enter his and Gwen's lives. The Ninth Life of a Blind Wonder Cat also covers his bout with acute liver failure, which veterinarians predicted Homer would die from within a few weeks, a prognosis that proved incorrect when Homer went on to live in relative good health for more than six months. [10] Homer's illness and seemingly miraculous extended life are the subject of Cooper's 2018 short memoir Homer and The Holiday Miracle.

Lo que realmente hace apreciar su lectura es el desarrollo que Sōseki ha hecho de los cuatro personajes principales, siendo el gato sin nombre el narrador que lleva adelante la historia, acompañado por el dispéptico profesor Kushami, su dueño, un profesor de lenguas británicas de su ciudad (quien personaliza la introducción de la cultura occidental que el autor logró introducir en Japón a través de su obra), siguiendo con Metmei, el típico muchacho sabelotodo y verborrágico y sabelotodo que se la pasa hablando en la casa del profesor aunque nunca es invitado y también el joven Misushima Kangetsu, un muchacho que intenta conquistar el corazón de la hija de la familia Kaneda y que aún no ha terminado su tesis. a b "Gwen Cooper: "Homer's Odyssey" (Delacorte Press)".

I Like to Read® Comics are perfect for kids who are challenged by or unengaged in reading, kids who love art, and the growing number of young comics fans. Filled with eye-catching art, humor, and terrific stories these comics provide unique reading experiences for growing minds. El análisis que el gato desarrolla sobre los seres humanos me recuerda a lo que posteriormente también pondría en obra Franz Kafka con sus inolvidables relatos “Informe para una academia” e “Investigaciones de un perro”, aunque estos asumen posturas y desarrollo humano, la conexión con el gato de esta novela es similar.

Third, I found the quotes on a variety of complaints about women interesting and humorous since I've never read them anywhere before. For example:The dog, scared witless, shouts, "HIDE! HIDE!" The dog jumps under a couch cushion, and the cat persists in annoying him. The cat climbs on the cushion with his toys. BOOM! The dog jumps, throwing the insufferable cat high into the air. Dewey becomes a staple of this Spencer, Iowa library and community, transforming all of their lives for the better. Now you don't actually need to be a cat fancier to enjoy this book. It's simply a device used as an external viewpoint on us crazy humans. While there are occasions where the appreciation of the feline species will give you some extra laughs, the majority of the book feels like an old-fashioned omniscient narrator tale. Even the no-name cat remarks on his uncanny ability to read human minds and decipher the psychology behind our actions.

Though the citizens of Moscow are understandably shaken by the arrival of Satan and his minions, two people instead find peace with their visit.A really fantastic book on enrichment for cats, with lovely photos and suggestions for modifying your cat's environment, with a nice emphasis on training and my favorite… FOOD PUZZLES! Lots of information on how to play with cats, as well as how to provide enrichment that meets all of the sensory needs! De todas maneras, el gato de Sōseki no es el primero. No olvidemos que E.T.A. Hoffmann escribió en 1886 "Vida y opiniones del gato Murr" del que seguramente Sōseki debe haber tomado ciertas influencias, ya que las similitudes de los personajes, los diálogos y los planteamientos filosóficos son elocuentes. Homer is featured most prominently in two of the tales: “’Cat Lovers Don’t Read Books’,” which takes its title from what a literary agent said to Cooper upon her pitching her idea for a Homer memoir to prospective publishers; and “The Worm Has Turned,” an in-depth look at Homer's obsession with his favourite cat toy—a cloth worm topped with a small jingling bell.
