Summary: "Histoire des rats, pour servir à l'histoire universelle" by Bourdon de Sigrais is a whimsical historical account likely written in the 18th century. The text promises an exploration into the lives and behaviors of rats, drawing parallels to human nature and society. The author adopts a playful tone, aiming to both entertain and enlighten readers regarding this oft-maligned creature. At the start of the narrative, the author establishes the premise of writing an 'Histoire des Rats' by comparing it to the previously written work on cats, suggesting a rich vein of similarity and rivalry between the two species. The author reflects on the frivolity of literary trends and asserts that even seemingly trivial subjects can yield important insights. Through discussions peppered with humor and philosophical musings, the opening portion delves into the intricacies of rat behavior, societal structures, and their interactions with humans, setting the stage for a deeper allegorical exploration of both animal and human traits throughout the rest of the work.
