Description

On a distant island, the members of a secret brotherhood of superstitious believers think that black cats bring bad luck and decide to exterminate them with poisons, traps, and a thousand and one inhumane ways. Soon, they have almost achieved their goal. Only one black cat remains alive. The members of the brotherhood are determined to find and destroy it. But the cat is also determined to survive. This is the story of a relentless persecution, a desperate love, a bitter betrayal – this is the story of the last black cat. The Last Black Cat: a novel by the "poet of fairy tales" Eugene Trivizas, which captivates from the first page and maintains the reader's interest unbroken, an exciting adventure that combines lyricism with humor, emotion with mystery, despair with hope, a fierce "indictment" against racism, xenophobia, and superstition. PRESS REVIEWS A suggestive myth that explores a nation's descent into the depths of murderous fanaticism. A story that warms the hearts... Elaine Williams, Times Educational Supplement The dynamics of racism and the moral duty to resist it have rarely been portrayed so attractively. The Last Black Cat is reminiscent of an Albert Camus allegory for a younger audience. Boyd Tonkin, Literary editor, The Independent Trivizas' light, beautiful, and entertaining book is undoubtedly a parable book. It is a reflection book. Intrigue and love story. Friendship and betrayal. Wonderful and wretched characters. The book exudes an aura of the sea, longing, even the smell of fresh fish. Because first of all, the Greek Eugene Trivizas is not a philosopher, nor a preacher, he is simply a poet. www.livelib.ru/book Intolerance, scapegoating, and the greed of corporate financial interests are wonderfully satirized. Gary Mc Keone, Literary Editor, Arts Council, England Amazing novel. G. Zouboulakis, To Vima A story of heroic resistance to superstitions, prejudices, and racial discrimination. The author steals the hearts of young readers with his heroes and language. Mutfak Banyo Seramik The novel reveals an entire world, the modern world with its machinations, callousness, lack of democracy, absence of visions, ultimately its every kind of racism. Yiannis S. Papadatos, Diavazo Eugene Trivizas declares war on superstitions, prejudices, and racial discrimination… Haftalik Dergisi Black, like its four-legged protagonists, a requiem for the total madness of racism and intolerance. To Pontiki Complete enjoyment! It boggles the mind! I didn't expect such depth from a story about cats. http://novostiliteratury.ru A highly captivating adventure of fantasy and mystery. Bookseller Trivizas is experienced and intelligent enough not to fall into the trap of didacticism and moralizing. The Last Black Cat is read with suspense and interest until its last page. Radikal Kitap Being aware of the proportions and sizes, The Last Black Cat could be compared to the famous Animal Farm. Both of these books managed in their own way to bring to light painful truths of the times. Antonis Xagas, mic This highly subversive children's novel (and not only) by Eugene Trivizas enters Israeli schools. G. Baskozos, To Vima Good book, wonderful, you could say. Reading it, you feel like a pair of bright, green cat eyes are watching you. Such stories will be remembered for a long time. www.livelib.ru/book
