Thomas Gray in Copenhagen: In Which the Philosopher Cat Meets the Ghost of Hans Christian Andersen by Philip J. Davis (PDF)

Description

A sequel to the widely successful Thomas Gray, Philosopher Cat, Philip J. Davis’ latest continues the adventures of the internationally popular feline and friend. Could it be that Hans Christian Andersen – who wrote so lovingly of inchworms and ugly ducklings – was an unrepentant despiser of cats? That’s the rumor that the philosophical feline, Thomas Gray, and cohort, Cambridge don Lucas Fysst, (whose last name doesn’t rhyme with “fist”) are determined to snuff out. In Copenhagen to attend a philosophers’ convention, they go on the hunt for a missing Andersen manuscript that will set the record straight. A whimsically written and illustrated tale – part history, part parody, and all fun.Davis is Professor Emeritus of Applied Mathematics at Brown University and author of No Way: Essays on the Impossible.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I found this a very charming book. The mild scholar Lucas Fysst goes on a researchtrip to Copenhagen and is joined by his companion, the philosopher cat, Thomas Grey. Together they explore various libraries and archives in order to unearth a story by H C Andersen dealing positively with cats.The local colour is very good, I know as I happen to live in Copenhagen! And as I work at the Royal Library I find the descriptions of the house and its personel very amusing – and quite accurate…The author mixes fact, fiction and detective story elements in an entertaining way, he is a very witty and learned person who spices his concoction with bemused commentaries on this science and that philosopher… The illustrations are absolutely congenial and as a whole it is a very good-looking volume.I’d like to warmly recommend this book to anyone who is fond of cats, H C Andersen, Copenhagen and philosophising!
