New Brunswick, 1934. When a cook in a logging camp finds an orphaned baby bear, he brings it home to his wife, who names the cub Bruno and raises him alongside her newborn daughter, Pearly. Growing up, Pearly and Bruno share a special bond and become inseparable. While life in the camp can be perilous—loggers are regularly injured or even killed—the Everlasting family form a close-knit community with the woodsmen, who accept and embrace the tame young bear.

Every cat contains multitudes... Charting the couple’s ever-evolving relationship with cats –some they live with, others who exist solely in their imagination– Invisible Kitties introduces us to a coterie of extraordinary, physics-defying, death-defying cats. They drop from the sky, they grow from the soil, they transmute. They fly, flow, and evaporate. The young couple’s everyday life, often eclipsed by the drama of cats, offers a gentle glimpse of how joy can suddenly sneak into our lives.

Buddhistische Lebensweisen, samtene Pfoten und jede Menge witziger, einfühlsamer und erstaunlicher Momente finden sich in diesem Sammelband. Was macht der Dalai Lama eigentlich so den ganzen Tag?

In ihrer Rolle als Vertraute von einem der wichtigsten religiösen Führer der Welt streunert die Hauskatze nicht nur durch das Leben seiner Heiligkeit.

Reportero y fotógrafo de profesión, a sus cincuenta años Rafael Baena publicó su primera novela, Tanta sangre vista, en la que los caballos y la caballería son tan significativos como en ¡Vuelvan caras, carajo! o en La bala vendida. Las razones para que ello haya sido así están explicadas en esta crónica en tono personal escrita para Luna Libros.

Tra gli ontani, gli aceri, i castagni e le balze erbose dell’estate, Billy il Cane si muove non visto verso una meta che conosce lui solo: ha consumato il suo tempo. Si sottrae fieramente al consorzio umano, come la sua profonda ferinità gli impone. I suoi tutori lo cercano e lui, fratello della notte, inciampa con la memoria nella sua vita da cane: rivede l’infanzia disgraziata, l’ingresso nella casa del balzano terzetto dei suoi tutori che lo hanno strappato alla strada, la biblioteca del tutore dove ha "assaggiato" la carta di tanti libri e per osmosi ha imparato la sua lingua.

Ein großer Auftritt für die Alpakas. Miri macht sich Sorgen: Mit der Adoption ihrer Ziehtochter Hanna will es einfach nicht vorangehen, und dann mischen sich auch noch die Großeltern ein. Da kommt die Anfrage einer Werbeagentur an das Apfelhof-Team gerade recht. Weil Alpakas derzeit so gefragt sind, sollen sie für Tierschutzfilme, Postkarten und Kalender posieren. Die flauschigen, herzigen Tiere bezaubern natürlich das gesamte Agenturteam, das zwei Tage auf dem Hof verbringt. Projektleiterin Lena fällt währenddessen auf, dass es ihrer Freundin Miri nicht gut geht.
