NTA and it's definitely Der. It's an abbreviation.

There's a slim chance you're not baiting. Das, Der, and Die all mean "the" in german. Das is neutral, Der is masculine, Die is feminine. The book is titled Das Kapital.

Beasts is really good, I don't remember if it's first person or not.

Redwall by Brian Jacques, it's third person but you should still read it.
The audiobook, narrated by the man himself, is very well done. If Jacques hadn't been a writer he would have made a great voice actor.

i recently enjoyed hollow kingdom and its sequel. narrated by a crow raised by a hillbilly in seattle through human extinction.

just yesterday read alan moore's short story 'the improbably complex high energy state' which was good fun.

one of my favorite sf books is sue burke's semiosis, about humans colonizing a planet with a highly intelligent plant species. only some chapters are actually first-person plant but it's great.

also want to recommend venomous lumpsucker by nead bauman. not narrated by animals, but lots about animal cognition in it, and it was my favorite book of last year.

It's about a sociopathic dog that kills people.

WODWO

What am I? Nosing here, turning leaves over
Following a faint stain on the air to the river's edge
I enter water. Who am I to split
The glassy grain of water looking upward I see the bed
Of the river above me upside down very clear
What am I doing here in mid-air? Why do I find
this frog so interesting as I inspect its most secret
interior and make it my own? Do these weeds
know me and name me to each other have they
seen me before do I fit in their world? I seem
separate from the ground and not rooted but dropped
out of nothing casually I've no threads
fastening me to anything I can go anywhere
I seem to have been given the freedom
of this place what am I then? And picking
bits of bark off this rotten stump gives me
no pleasure and it's no use so why do I do it
me and doing that have coincided very queerly
But what shall I be called am I the first
have I an owner what shape am I what
shape am I am I huge if I go
to the end on this way past these trees and past these trees
till I get tired that's touching one wall of me
for the moment if I sit still how everything
stops to watch me I suppose I am the exact centre
but there's all this what is it roots
roots roots roots and here's the water
again very queer but I'll go on looking
