The Last Cat in Boots
14.99 €
A tale of friendship and salvation in besieged Leningrad. The story is based on archival materials and memories of real people. Artistic narrative-reminiscence of a grandmother who survived the blockade as a child. When Tanya picked up a helpless red kitten in the street, she could not think that she was holding her future protector in her arms. A year later, war broke out. The enemy surrounded Leningrad with a ring of siege, cutting off ways to deliver fuel and food to the city. Only Tanya and her mother remained in the formerly crowded communal apartment. And Ryzhik... Is he really the last cat on Vasilievsky Island? Together with him, Tanya will have to endure the cold of the empty apartment and excruciating hunger, shrinking fear from the rumble of German bombers and a quiet hatred of the invaders, a pinching feeling of irreplaceable losses. All this terrible time the brave cat will be for Tanya a faithful friend and helper. Years later, carefully reviving in her memory the pictures of the experience, she will tell her grandson this story of an extraordinary lifesaving friendship in besieged Leningrad.
