"Scenes of the Private and Public Life of Animals" (1842) is a famous collection, for which the texts were written by famous French writers, and the illustrations were made by the wonderful illustrator Granville. The through plot of the book is the story of how animals gathered for their General Assembly and decided to free themselves from the power of man, and to do this, each of them told their own story. The reader will hear monologues from the conformist Hare and the Byronist Bear, the Epicurean Crocodile and the Poodle who became a theater critic, the English Cat convicted of adultery, and the French Cat deceived by the traitorous Cat. The names and some of the characters' features are animal-like, but the problems, of course, are human, the same ones that the French faced in their everyday lives in the first half of the 19th century. This produces a comic effect, which is completed by Granville's brilliant drawings. The collection was prepared by the leading research fellow of the IVGI RSUH and SHAGI RANEPA Vera Milchina, the author of the book “Paris in 1814–1848: Everyday Life”.
