What do animals talk about when people cannot hear? What world will animals create when people disappear completely?
The bestiary of French artist, graphic designer, and cartoonist Nicolas Vial is born from childhood - from a love of typography inherited from his grandfather and father and a youthful passion for animalism. The story, written by Muriel Barbery, author of the international bestseller "The Elegance of the Hedgehog," is born from our everyday life, which people live without becoming aware. Animals look at us very attentively - but we do not notice. Animals talk about us - but we do not understand. Perhaps animals will remain even after us - but we cannot imagine such a world. But Muriel Barbery can.
This is a dangerous, funny, and still very complex world in which people have mysteriously disappeared, and animals are writing their own story. Before you is an amazing fruit of collaboration between one of the smartest and deepest writers of our time and one of the most original artists. The artbook "Animals in Letters" is "Alice in Wonderland" half with Plato, "Dwellers of the Hills," who have read La Fontaine, a concise fairy tale, a profound parable, and an exhibition that you happen to glance at casually and then can’t find the strength to leave for half a day, recommending it to all your friends and acquaintances.
We are being watched by eyes that closely observe every day. After our disappearance, voices sound that we have gotten used to ignoring.
