Libra has released Mark Beneke's book "The Illustrated Life of Animals," illustrated by Kat Menshik.

Cannibal pets, mermaids, strange mating rituals, drunken moose, and necrophilic ducks—this is one of the most unusual popular science books about animals we've come across in a while.

It's especially gratifying that the translation was done by participants of the Creative Writing School translation workshop. Among the translators are HSP alumni Anna Borisova and Marina Novikova.
