Abstract

en_US A really lovely book. Eleven fables, including two from Aesop (FG and Die Katze und die Hühner) and from Krylov (Der Hahn und die Perle and Der Schwan, der Hecht und der Krebs). Others: Der Löwe und der Hase from Lessing, Ein Bauer sucht zweihundert Eier in einem Huhn from Johannes Pauli, Der Herr und der Hund from Ignacy Krasicki, CP (but here Avianus' urna has become a Gefäß), Die Hammel und der Metzger from Romulus, Die Mahnung des Vaters from Babrios, and Bewaffneter Friede (featuring a fox and a porcupine) from Wilhelm Busch. The illustrations are strong, perhaps best for the two Krylov fables; they always add two colors to the basic black. To what do the cover and dust jacket illustrations of a lobster and a crow with a broom refer? Some of the best of the East German tradition here, not too long before it came to an end. The lack of direct reference to Phaedrus and LaFontaine is surprising.
