"… a world of myth and metaphorical meaning.
Maximus the First is a giant lion-sized black cat with a shiny white chest and burning yellow eyes. Maximus was stolen as a kitten and cared for in captivity by a wise, magical eagle named Wystan and watched over by a wizard named Gerald. The first half of the book involves Maximus’s rescue by the red-and-tan tabby named Huxley.
The second half recounts Maximus’s conflict with the evil humans, likened to Nazis with names that are cyphers for Hitler and Mengele, men who have chosen 'Second Nature' (the Dark side), that is, ego and power over collective identity and common good.
Maximus in Catland is, in fairy-tale style, another examination of the idea of the Truly Strong Man—or, in this case, Cat—which is one who would give his own life for the sake of transpersonal good (what in Catland is called 'Great Mystery').
I liked this little book. As a cat-lover myself, I thoroughly enjoyed the images of giant housecats bounding to the rescue. Izzo’s writing is very descriptive. This book is a treat—with a truly mystical message."
