It took a black kitten named Nero only six weeks to become the head of the farm and earn the respect of all its inhabitants. Nero is not afraid of anyone or anything, and therefore receives the second part of his name - Corleone, which means “Lion Heart”. “Nero Corleone” (1995) is a fascinating story about the life of a cat, which the German writer Elke Heidenreich tells as if she herself had once it was a cat. But the most important thing about it is that it is a story about birth, life, love, growing up and death, told in such a simple and clear language that it will be interesting for both children and adults to read about it.
