The anthropomorphism in the art of storytelling has a long history: Homer, the Old Testament, Aesop, La Fontaine, London, Blake, Poe, Verne, Melville, Kafka, Hemingway, Orwell, Borges, Ionesco, Cortázar, Pelevin, as well as Roidis, Mitsakis, Laskaratios, Karkavitsas, Kontoglou, Penzikis, Tsirkas, etc.
Of course, a story with animals is not limited to current urban animal-loving, especially today, with the extinction of rare species of fauna, laboratory animals, or genetically modified animals.
Folklore or artistic narrative, realistic or allegorical version, dramatic or ironic tone, zoological stories are simply the occasions for us to reflect and talk about ourselves and the world.
