Could you guess by looking at the cover? Yes, Anya is a cat. A cat who likes her family, want's to explore the world outside her apartment, and keeps a diary. Written by Dimitar Bashevski, the book was first published in 1994 in Macedonian and appeared in English translation by Will Firth in 2007.Cats have been literary muses for many famous writers. But, Dimitar Basevski is probably the only one who presents to us our human world from a cat's perspective. And our world is full of love and caring, but also cruelty. This book is a cry against this malice. All you cat lovers your collections will not be complete without this short, 100 page, novel for children that comes from Skopje, Macedonia.
