Bücher von David Garrick

Dies ist die Geschichte des Katers Tom und der Menschen, denen er in seinem Leben begegnet. Im brodelnden London des 18. Jahrhunderts erlebt er seine Abenteuer: Er landet im Gefängnis, lernt dort einen Wegelagerer kennen, und er wird gezwungen, auf dem Jahrmarkt aufzutreten. Tom hat unzählige Liebschaften, er kämpft siegreich in einer Schlacht und brennt rebellisch das Haus eines Mausefallenfabrikanten nieder.Dieses Buch ist der erste Katzenroman der Weltliteratur, der Urvater aller Katzenkrimis und aller anderen Katzengeschichten. Es ist auch der Grund, warum alle Kater im Englischen tomcat genannt werden: Sie sind nämlich benannt nach dem Romanhelden. Es ist ein vielschichtiges Werk, voller versteckter Anspielungen auf damalige Ereignisse und zugleich eine zeitlose Liebeserklärung an die Katze. Ein Klassiker für literarisch anspruchsvolle Katzenfreunde, skurril, satirisch und bizarr. Hier erstmals in deutscher Sprache, reich illustriert mit historischen Katzenbildern.Mehr als 250 Jahre war es ein Geheimnis, wer diesen Kurzroman geschrieben hat. In einer spannenden detektivischen Spurensuche enthüllt der zweite Teil, dass der anonyme Autor des Buches David Garrick ist. Er war der berühmteste Schauspieler des 18. Jahrhunderts, der mit seiner völlig neuartigen, natürlichen Spielweise die moderne Schauspielkunst begründete und seiner Zeit in jeder Hinsicht weit voraus war.Das Vorbild für den Romanhelden ist vermutlich Hodge gewesen, der prominenteste Kater des 18. Jahrhunderts. Sein Denkmal steht noch heute in London.
