★ 迷人的視覺紀錄：走進香港各式奇趣且充滿氛圍的小店，一窺貓咪的日常身影
當長期愛貓的荷蘭攝影師馬塞爾·海嫩（Marcel Heijnen）搬到香港時，他驚喜地發現許多鄰居竟然都是「貓星人」。對他而言，與當地的店鋪貓及其主人交朋友、並在過程中隨手記錄影像，是再自然不過的事，而這本迷人的小書正是這段旅程的豐碩成果。
以香港繁忙的南北乾貨貿易為背景，在那些堆滿傳統貨品、顯得有些陳舊沉重的貨架間，受人憐愛的貓咪們有的像是店鋪吉祥物般耀眼奪目，有的則像變魔術般悄悄隱沒在紙箱與玻璃罐後。與此同時，透過伊恩·羅（Ian Row）直覺敏銳的俳句與故事，以冷面幽默的方式揭開了這些貓咪內心深處的真實想法。
【本書特色】
-
在地氛圍：這本書特別聚焦在香港上環、西營盤一帶的海味街，照片中充滿了鹹魚、藥材與舊式木櫃的質地。
-
貓與人的連結：除了貓咪，書中也隱含了老店東主與貓咪之間那種不言而喻、相依為命的深厚情感。
-
設計巧思：與中國篇一樣，這本書結合了現代攝影與日本俳句形式，形成一種獨特的東西方文化對話。
★A charming look at cats in a range of quirky and atmospheric shops in Hong Kong
When long-term cat owner and Dutch photographer Marcel Heijnen moved to Hong Kong, he was delighted to find that many of his neighbours were of the feline variety. It was only natural for him to make friends with the local shop cats and their owners, taking photos as he went. And this book is the charming result.
Against a background of Hong Kong’s bustling dried goods trade, dusty shelves groaning with traditional products, the beloved cats either stand out as shop mascots or magically melt away behind boxes and jars. Meanwhile, their innermost thoughts, delivered deadpan, are revealed through Ian Row’s intuitive haiku and stories.
