Abstract

en_US This is a beautifully printed and executed book. This might be the loveliest of the unillustrated versions I have of Lessing. Each fable gets its own page. Fable titles are in blue ink. The T of C is on 191-7, before notes on the Abhandlungen and before the Nachwort. The three books contain thirty fables each. One of my sample experiences this time is Der Schaefer und die Nachtigall (101). Asked by the shepherd to sing, the nightingale says that it is not worth it with the frogs croaking. Don't you hear them? I do, but only because of your silence. Another should touch poets whose flights carry them over the heads of most of their readers. It has the nightingale ask the lark Do you sail so high in order not to get heard? One more: a fox got away by jumping onto a fence. To get down on the other side, he had to jump through a thornbush. Damn helper, who cannot help without hurting!
