Our pets offer us some of our most beautiful everyday moments. Normal, therefore, that some works give them pride of place.
Here is a selection-late to our faithful 4-legged companions: dog, cat, hamster… They are the heroes of our favorite books. To read and reread without moderation!
Ovidie signs an attempt interspersed with fragments of personal narrative on her relationship to dogs. She who has always lived surrounded by their presence, who loves and respects them. They, who have cherished her for so many years. In this essay, the author analyzes – scientifically and historically – how dogs and women have been mistreated in the same way since the dawn of time. We cry (a lot), we laugh (very strong) and we revel in the pen of Ovidie always scathing with truth. Once is not custom with her: it’s a 5 star.

Hiro Arikawa had already enjoyed us a few years ago with his book A cat’s memories who plunged us into the head of one of the most famous pets. Here, 7 new tales are gathered and give us to imagine what is going on in the daily lives of felines. Because of them, we have already said everything. Selfish, solitary, arrogant: but who are really our hair balls? The writer takes the opportunity to make us discover Japan as well as the joys and fears of humans seen by cats. It’s beautiful, soft and bright. Everything we need.
Goodbye cats !, Hiro Arikawa, éd. Babel.
In this collection, the authors are offered to write a text around an animal and what it represents for them. Here, the French actress Marion Séclin seizes the… Hamster. She recognizes it from the start: nobody never chooses this animal as a totem. But, it is clear that it is his. Rejected by her family and friends when she was small, Marion Séclin offers a whole analogy around this little being perhaps less fragile than it seems. We love her funny and impactful writing. We melt for this pet which does not occupy the place it deserves in our hearts.

José-Luis Munuera offers us a very nice adaptation of Cédric Sapin-Defour’s bestseller. His drawings that are both delicate and expressive illustrate magnificently the unique relationship that unites a young man and his Bernese bouvier. Each trait, each graphic silence tells their intimacy, their laughs, their concerns … and the time that passes, fleeting, but which leaves indelible memories, like that of the smell of the loved one.
