About This Item

N.p., For the Author, Imprimerie Centrale S.A., 1999. 1st Edition . Hardcover. .. Two volumes. I. Text Volume. Crown quarto. Pp. 533, b&w illustrations; II. Plate Volume. Tall quarto. Unpaginated. A photographic album, lavishly illustrated in colour. Both volumes bound in pictorial stiff wrappers and placed in the original hardcover clamshell box, with a matching image on cover. In fine condition. Excellent set, practically unused. ~ FIRST EDITION. "Im Gegensatz zum Titel haben wir es hier nicht mit einem 'Katzenbuch' zu tun, sondern mit einem luxemburger Naturführer besonderer Art. Wenn der Titel sich durch eine eher realistisch-pessimistische Atmosphäre des Textbandes erklären lässt, so zeugt der Bildband davon, dass die Autorin doch selber nicht so recht glaubt, dass alles 'für die Katz' gewesen war. Der Textband veranschaulicht anhand von Pressenotizen (Leserbriefen, oft von der Autorin selbst) mehrere Jahrzehnte Tauziehen zwischen Natur- und Umweltschutzbegeisterten und den übrigen politischen und gesellschaftlichen Strukturen. Er erörtert verpasste (und in Zukunft noch zu verpassende) Gelegenheiten, das Spiessbürgertum und sonstiges materialistisches Denken in punkto hautnaher Umwelt etwas zu dämpfen. Für die an diesem Geschehen unfreiwillig beteiligten Militanten ein Denkstein, für andere (hoffentlich) ein Denkanstoss (.) Der Bildband, in der Form eines gedruckten Fotoalbums, zeigt Natur, vor allem in der Escher Gegend und im 'Minett'. Interessant sind vergleichende Aufnahmen von Tagebaugebieten in bis zu 20-jährigem Intervall, welche den Verbuschungsprozess dokumentieren." - Haus vun der Natur, Kockelscheuer. P-7
