Abstract

en_US German equivalent of Aesop's Fables adapted into English by Leonard Matthews and published by Blitz Editions in 1998 and found as I wandered around Malta. Designed by Aventinum Publishing House, Prague. As I wrote there, the book belongs in the genre of very large format books (here 9¼ x almost 13) with excellent color printing. The book contains forty-two fables. The book numbers fables rather than pages. The dying lion in #9 laments his general situation, not the particular attack from the donkey. The Lion kills the man who uses the stone as a proof as to who is stronger (#37). The two most engaging illustrations are those for The Sick Donkey and the Wolf (#35) and The Old Lion and the Fox (#36). This text is true to Steinhöwel and to Aesop. It makes for interesting comparisons with the English. The English versions are not always what one would expect; often they lose some of the tradition's subtlety.
