No.1
Special Cat
Author: Doris Lessing
Publisher: Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House< /p>
Doris Lessing, winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize for Literature, is a writer who loves cats. In this book, she tells touching stories about the relationship between humans and cats, detailing the cats that once made her happy and sad.
The master’s observation and description abilities are truly extraordinary, and she can write this kind of essays brilliantly. The lives of several cats are full of fun in her writing. Lessing also explains the cat's psychology so logically that it's impossible to refute it, so much so that one can't help but wonder if she can speak cat language. After reading this book, I believe many people will have the idea of "raising a cat".

No.3
The Cat that Lived a Million Times
Author: Yoko Sano
Publisher: Jielie Publishing House< /p>
This is a children's picture book, but I think it is also suitable for adults.
The author uses a slightly grotesque style of writing to outline an ugly cat. It is an immortal cat that has died a million times and lived a million times. A million people loved it, and a million people cried when it died, but it didn't even shed a tear. A king, a sailor, a magician, a thief, a lonely old lady, a little girl... No matter who is its owner, it lives in a hazy state and is indifferent to everything. Until one day, it turned into a wild cat that belonged only to itself and fell in love with a beautiful white cat. Only then did it know why it lived for the first time...
This is a movie about the meaning of life. The great fable has been praised in Japan as "a picture book that transcends generations and an eternal masterpiece that you will never tire of even if you read it a million times."
No.4

Jack London's dog novels are famous in the literary world, and this book contains two of the most famous ones. "The Call of the Wild" is about a dog named Buck. After receiving civilized education, he was captured and sold to Alaska as a sled dog and suffered many hardships. Finally, after avenging his master, he accepted the call of the wilderness and escaped. Entering the forest and joining the wolf pack; "White Fang" is just the opposite. It is about a dog with wolf blood, White Fang, who finally overcomes his wild nature under the inspiration of his owner and saves his owner in a critical moment. life.
Because Jack London once prospected for gold in Alaska and had a long and close relationship with dogs, both novels are very vivid, real and highly contagious.

No.7
A short biography of Alfred
Editor: Virginia Woolf
p>Publisher: Nanjing University Press
Alfred was a puppy owned by the British poetess Mrs. Browning. The great poet Browning met and fell in love with each other, and participated in their elopement.
This book was written by another British literary master, Virginia Woolf, through the perspective of the puppy Alf. It reproduces the romantic love legend of the poet laureate and his wife, and at the same time expresses the boredom of dull urban life and the yearning for nature. Probably because of the medium of dogs, Woolf's book changes from the previous obscure style and appears to be more interesting. Relaxed and humorous, it's a pleasure to read.
