No. 1

Special cat

Author: Doris Lessing

Publishing House: Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House

Doris Lessing, the Nobel Prize in Literature winner in 2007, is a writer who is crazy about cats. In this book, she tells a touching story about people and cats, and counts the cats that once made her happy and sad.

The master's observation ability and description ability are really extraordinary. She can write this short article wonderfully, and the lives of several cats are very interesting in her works. Lessing also explained the cat's psychology reasonably and irrefutably, which made people wonder whether she could speak cat words. After reading this book, I believe many people will have the idea of "keeping a cat".

second

hunter

Author: Zhu Tianxin

Publishing House: Xinxing Publishing House

Zhu Tianxin's father is Zhu Xining, a famous writer in Taiwan Province, and his sister Zhu Tianwen, like her, was educated in Hulan City. Both of them later became famous writers, and Zhujiajian Island was an out-and-out scholar.

In her works, cats are no longer the pets and dolls of the Zhu family, but an independent subject, each showing its own abilities, looking for gaps in the environment dominated by human beings and striving for living space.

In the nine essays included in this book, Zhu Tianxin describes her meeting and getting along with all the cats coming in and out of the house. She gave them freedom, but she earned chains. Respect their lives, and your own life will be enriched.

third place

A cat that has lived a million times.

Author: Yoko Sasano

Publishing House: Relay Publishing House

This is a children's picture book, but I think it is also suitable for adults.

The author sketched an ugly cat in a slightly grotesque style. It is an immortal cat. It died 6.5438 million times and lived 6.5438 million times. 654.38 million people loved it, and 654.38 million people cried when it died, but it didn't even shed a tear. Kings, sailors, magicians, thieves, lonely old ladies, little girls ... no matter who its owner is, it lives in a daze and is indifferent to everything. It was not until one day that it became its own wild cat and fell in love with a beautiful white cat that it first knew why it was alive. ...

This is a great fable about the meaning of life. In Japan, it is known as "a picture book that transcends generations and is an eternal masterpiece that can't be read for 654.38+100,000 times".

fourth

The call of the wilderness, white teeth

Author: Jack London

Publishing House: Central Compilation Publishing House

After recommending books about cats, let's have some books about Wang Xingren.

Jack London's dog novels are very famous in the literary world, and this book contains two of the most famous ones. The Call of the Wilderness is about a dog named Buck. After being educated by civilization, he was taken away and sold to Alaska as a sled dog. Finally, after revenging his master, he accepted the call of the wilderness, fled into the forest and joined the wolves. White Tooth is about a dog with wolf blood-White Tooth. Inspired by its owner, it finally overcame its wildness and saved its life at a critical moment.

Because Jack London once searched for gold in Alaska and had a long and close relationship with dogs, both novels are very vivid, true and infectious.

Fifth place

I will wait for you in the rain.

By Garth Stein

Publishing House: Nanhai Publishing Company

"My name is Enzo. I always thought I was a human being, and I always thought I was different from other dogs. I am just stuffed into the dog's body, and the soul inside is the real me. " Just looking at the beginning makes people want to read on.

The story is actually very simple, that is, a dog named Enzo told us the story of his owner Danny's family. This dog, in particular, seems to have the soul of a philosopher. There are many golden sentences in its narration: "Your heart determines what you see" and "Where your eyes look, the car will go" ... So, although it talks about the joys and sorrows of its owner, it shows a lot of philosophy of life. The sincere feelings between dogs and their owners expressed in the book touched many readers.

Sixth

Goodbye, Kourou.

Author: Kengo Ishiguro

Photography: Zhang Liangping

Publishing House: Nanhai Publishing Company

Ke Lu is a guide dog. He is frank, casual, safe and loyal, and helps people with vigilance. His emotions are fierce, but he is restrained and low-key, just like the "good man" that one always wants to meet in his life.

The film adapted from this book is even more famous-"Guide Dog Little Q" has touched hundreds of millions of viewers around the world. Like the movie, this book is also a tear masterpiece, written by a senior editor and photographed by a famous photographer. It records the life of this clever guide dog with words and photos.

Seventh place

blush

Editor: Adeline Virginia Woolf

Press: Nanjing University Press

Afer is the dog of the English poetess Mrs Browning. She has been with her for many years, and recently witnessed her acquaintance and love with the great poet Browning, and participated in their elopement.

This book was written by Virginia Woolf, another master of English literature. From the perspective of Affre the dog, the romantic love legend of the Poet Laureate couple is reproduced, and at the same time, the boredom of plain urban life and the yearning for nature are expressed. Probably because of the medium of dogs, Woolf's book has changed its obscure style, and it looks relaxed and humorous, and it is very pleasant to read.
