A Cat at the End of the World - Paperback
$21.95
by Vesna Maric (Translator), Robert Perisic (Author)
Delivered like a fable, A Cat At the End of the World shifts perspectives between a runaway slave and the Scatterwind, a bodiless spirit that moves effortlessly through time and space, from the days of ancient Syracuse to our contemporary era. At the center of their stories is Miu, an Egyptian cat-- one of the earliest to be domesticated-- through whom Robert Peris ic channels a deeply profound and beautiful understanding of animal and human behaviors as seen through the results of language, warfare, colonization, trade, and the building of a society.
