Public and Private Life of Animals by P.-J. Stahl, J. Thomson, and J. J. Grandville

"Public and Private Life of Animals" by P.-J. Stahl, J. Thomson, and J. J. Grandville is an illustrated work of French parody published in 1842. When animals decide to overthrow human tyranny and form their own parliament in Paris, they share their stories through first-person narratives. This collaboration between prominent French writers examines questions of governance and society, with creatures from sparrows to lions serving as models for political and social commentary in post-revolutionary France.
