Used Book – Metaphysics of the Dog - Prix Renaudot des Lycéens 2002, Philippe Ségur

NOVEL BY PHILIPPE SÉGUR METAPHYSICS OF THE DOG In the picturesque alleys of old Toulouse, a multitude of colorful characters come and go, crossing paths as if connected by an invisible thread: Inspector Moskato, a depressed policeman who has not recovered from the disappearance of his poodle, Ange Fraboli, a small-time dog and cat thief, Mrs. Estrouffigue, the tyrannical owner and benefactor of the dog Knult...

While the peaceful life of the neighborhood is disturbed by rumors of pet abductions, a wild and funny investigation begins, in which the fate of men and that of animals will become inextricably intertwined.

Where do the tracks of Knult, the philosopher dog, lead? Is it about thwarting a conspiracy, or finding the hidden meaning of existence?
