Description
Master Abraham Liskov, a magician and miracle-worker at the court of a pocket principality, during the phantasmagoric celebration arranged by him saves a kitten from drowning.
Murr learns to understand the language of the two-legged kind, studies letters, and absorbs scraps of knowledge from the old folios on the master’s desk so that, at last, he can enter Johannes Kreisler’s service. Endowed with the ability to perceive the human mind as the capacity to perform deliberate actions, the most gifted of cats conveys his own
biography and his view of the world onto paper, using as blotting paper pages from the life of a rebellious musician.»
