Come addomesticare un umano

by Babas
Come addomesticare un umano

This novel belongs to the best-selling and now well-established cat-genre. Barbara Capponi, aka Babas, former creative director of a major advertising agency and independent artist, has created a small masterpiece.Delicious, sharp and irresistible, this small book (12.5 x 18 cm) is enhanced by Daria Bignardi’s preface and by the illustrations of the world-famous fashion illustrator Andrea Ferolla. How to Train Your Human describes with great wit and irony the behavior of one of the most common pets: cats. Their oddities and bizarre behaviors are told from a reversed point of view: it is the cats who are examining the humans. Because there is one truth that humans will not admit, which that the real head of the household is always the cat. It is as if they seduce us, day after day, with their grace and their zen spirit and in the end, we have been tamed. Babas reveals the secret of this millenary art, because we, the humans, are extraordinarily skilled and intelligent but we are often guided by incomprehensible reasoning! A perfect gift book for holidays and celebrations, not only for cat lovers but also for those who view them with disdain: after reading, they will only admire them!
