Great Cat Massacre(ISBN=9780465012749) azw3 极速 lit 地址 下载 rb pdf mobi

　　When the apprentices of a Paris printing shop in the 1730s

held a series of mock trials and then hanged all the cats they

could lay their hands on, why did they find it so hilariously funny

that they choked with laughter when they reenacted it in pantomime

some twenty times? Why in the eighteenth-century version of Little

Red Riding Hood did the wolf eat the child at the end? What did the

anonymous townsman of Montpelier have in mind when he kept an

exhaustive dossier on all the activities of his native city? These

are some of the provocative questions Robert Darnton answers in

this classic work of European history in what we like to call The

Age of Enlightenment.
