É a terceira edição que leio de O Gato e o Diabo do James Joyce, a primeira foi em inglês, a segunda a da Cosac e a agora a terceira da Ciranda Cultural. Joyce o escreveu para seu neto, mas a estória é tão curtinha que é piscou perdeu para a tradução e ilustração.
O que importa é que o Gato é melhor tratado pelo diabo do que por político escroto.

This charming little fable was written by James Joyce in a letter to his grandson. Extraordinary storytelling!
A beautifully written story about how one person and one vote can change people's lives.
Originally a letter from Joyce to his grandson, this very short children's story is based on an old French folk tale.
There are some some fantastic illustrations from various publications. Most notably the French cartoonist Roger Blachon, and Gerald Rose who cast Joyce in the role of the devil.

Leuk boekje, vooral vanwege de illustraties. Verhaaltje (eig. sprookje) flauw. Als brief van een ander dan Joyce was het waarschijnlijk nooit gepubliceerd, laat staan vertaald in zeven talen. PS wel weer leuk, als de Duivel Frans 'with a strong Dublin accent' blijkt te spreken.

James Joyce-nak még sohasem jelent meg magyarul ez a bájos írása. Joyce az unokájának írta ezt a mesét egy macskáról, egy Loire-menti városka lakóiról és a polgármesterükről, aki a folyón építendő híd érdekében szövetséget köt az ördöggel.

James Joyce was born on February 2, 1882, in Dublin, Ireland, into a large Catholic family. Joyce was a very good pupil, studying poetics, languages, and philosophy at Clongowes Wood College, Belvedere College, and the Royal University in Dublin. Joyce taught school in Dalkey, Ireland, before marrying in 1904. Joyce lived in Zurich and Triest, show more teaching languages at Berlitz schools, and then settled in Paris in 1920 where he figured prominently in the Parisian literary scene, as witnessed by Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. Joyce's collection of fine short stories, Dubliners, was published in 1914, to critical acclaim. Joyce's major works include A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, Finnegans Wake, and Stephen Hero. Ulysses, published in 1922, is considered one of the greatest English novels of the 20th century. The book simply chronicles one day in the fictional life of Leopold Bloom, but it introduces stream of consciousness as a literary method and broaches many subjects controversial to its day. As avant-garde as Ulysses was, Finnegans Wake is even more challenging to the reader as an important modernist work. Joyce died just two years after its publication, in 1941.
