This is not a book about zoology, but a celebration of the incongruity of the world. Vialatte uses the platypus as a central metaphor: that of a cobbled-together, bizarre but marvelous world. For Vialatte, the platypus represents the "masterpiece of improvisation". It is the symbol of everything that escapes human logic and rigid classification.
Very good condition.
