Everyday views of Kota Murra

You should read this book, if only because it is written by a cat - a cat named Murr. This cat even erected a monument in the German city of Bamberg. Murr sits on the right shoulder of his master, the monument itself stands on the square bearing the name of its owner, in front of the theater named after the same owner. So you will have to, despite the obvious displeasure of the Kot Murra (after reading the book, and you will learn his character), name the name of its master: Ernst Theodore Amadeus Hoffmann (1776-1822) Yes, this cat is very selfish and terribly pathetic. But thanks to this cat, you have the opportunity to get acquainted with the great composer Johannes Kreisler, whose biography pages of which Murr uses as blotches ... well, at the same time understand what the real writer, capeldineer, artist Ernst theodor Hoffmann, who wrote in the end, lived in real Germany in real Germany. Life is a great novel that combined the tragic, ironic, romantic and funny. Exactly as it happens in life - that human, that cats.
