- Summary:
- The Rat Gazette is an ode to perhaps the most vilified animal in the world: the rat. But is it true that the rat is only looked at in a negative way? Photographer Arjan Schuitman travelled to Europe, Asia and North America to investigate the rat's image. During his search he discovered that rats are not only fought but also worshipped and utilise. -Arjan captured the special relationships between man and this rodent by photographing them in research centres, farms, restaurants, temples, museums, and of course on the street. The photographs and stories in this book are both endearing and distasteful and evoke not only horror but also amazement and admiration. The Rat Gazette shows the rat in all its facets and just might change your view of the rat forever.
