- Abstract
- en_US The seller reports correctly that this volume contains fifty-two fables and eight drawings on its 88 pages. As it is unusual to find Aesop in France because of La Fontaine, so it is unusual, I think, to find Aesop in Russia because of Krylov. The illustrations here are rather expectable. Maybe the most arresting is the silhouette illustration facing the title-page: does it depict Aesop taking the bread-basket that will soon be half-empty? There is an engaging illustration for Pravda on 47. The typeface throughout seems to be (small and large) capitals. Looking through this book makes me want to learn Russian!
