The books to give as Christmas gifts in 2024 Perfumes, poetry, fashion photography and cats: there is something for everyone

Christmas is approaching, and not everyone is perfectly organized, with gifts already bought, wrapped, and placed under the tree. Some of us (myself included) are still procrastinating, overwhelmed by daily life, the last workdays before the holidays, and planning New Year's Eve.

He works as a postman. His only companion is a cat, Cabbage, with whom he shares a small apartment.

Published in Italy by Einaudi, it costs 11 euros.
