Abstract

en_US Here is a fascinating bit of cross-culture. In 2010 and 2011, Hemma published French hardbound books of La Fontaine's fables illustrated by Philippe Salembier. Now here is a paperbound book advertising Coca-Cola and Cine-Sur and presenting La Fontaine's fables in Spanish using the same illustrations by Salembier. This book, 6¼" square, presents 28 of the 40 fables offered in those hardbound French editions. It manages nicely to let illustrations from either the left or right hand extend across the spine into the text pages. Contemporary technology and artistic ability combine for pictures that are colorful and exact. TH offers a lively scene of the two animals, clothed and gendered, walking along a path by a field and then the mad dash to catch up at the finish (5-7). One of my favorites is "The Stag and the Pool" (16-17); this illustration spreads beautifully across two pages. In "The Lion Become Old" (34-35), the ass is climbing onto the lion's body to deliver his insulting blow. AD has a whimsical illustration in which the ant is riding like a horseback rider on the dove (40-41). Another favorite of mine shows the weasel and rabbit pleading all sorts of logic before the bespectacled cat (79). Little do they realize that they are both about to get eaten!
