A wonderful little charmer of a novel featuring Thomas Gray, "the resident feline of Pembroke College at Cambridge, and a cat of extraordinary abilities, and Dr. Fysst, an historian of mathematics". An unlikely pairing that helps the good professor to solve an ancient mathematical problem, and introduces the reader to the whimsy and charm of the scholar's life at Cambridge. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Auf ihre Weise nimmt die Katze eines Cambridge-Dozenten am akademischen Leben teil. Sie hat nämlich eindeutig philosophische Ambitionen und verhilft damit ihrem Besitzer zu wissenschaftlichem Ruhm. Eine skurrile Geschichte, nicht ohne Humor. Gro druck No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

"Introducing Thomas Gray, a cat, and Lucas Fysst, a slightly eccentric Fellow of Pembroke College. Their collaboration leads them both to high honours in the intellectual world, and, as an aftermath, raises a number of metaphysical questions.

"
Placed in Cambridge, England, this fantasy contains an introduction to the English University scene, an old Irish poem, a still older problem in mathematics, and six meals, together with some speculations on the human condition."
This perfectly introduces the subject as well as the tone, so if you like it, you'll like the book as much as I did, and find deep pleasures among the lightness and whimsey. (Five stars for being perfect of its type.)
