圖書名稱:Odd Birds & Fat Cats (an Urban Bestiary): (An Urban Bestiary)

內容簡介

Ravens in Berlin . . . Parakeets in Brooklyn . . . Chickens
in Tel Aviv . . . Spiders in Cognac. City creatures spark the imagination and
intellect in words and art by this father-daughter team.

Odd Birds & Fat Cats (An Urban Bestiary)is an
illustrated collection of brief observations on city creatures. Inspired
by the tradition of the medieval bestiary, bestiarum vocabulum, a
12th-century bestselling genre that chronicled animals and beings both
real and fantastical, the book features pithy impressions of birds and animals
that delight, confound, and edify, written by Peter Wortsman, coupled
with detailed naturalist artwork by his daughter, Aurélie
Bernard Wortsman.

Featured creatures include:

  • Pigeons: "When, finally, it takes flight . . . this
    asphalt-colored bird is like a piece of the pavement which by some fluke of
    gravity broke loose and is foolishly falling upward by mistake."

  • Seagulls: "Fallen splinters of eternity, they hang
    overhead with the equanimity and mild disdain of angels in a medieval
    altarpiece, and unlike pigeons, refuse any direct contact with man."
  • Ants: "Micro-managers in three-piece bodies,
    ants parody human antics to a tee. Or is it the other way around?"

  • Dust mites: "Every time you scratch yourself or comb
    your hair, you are feeding the tiny intruders with the detritus of self."

With four-color images throughout, printed in a beautiful hardbound
edition, this one-of-a-kind volume will please the discerning animal lover,
traveler, art lover, iconoclast, and literati on your gift list--and, of course,
also you!
