Abstract

en_US This book is fun! The back cover of the dust-jacket explains the book in terms of the genre of fable. Henryk Keisch and Jean Effel both use their contemporary arts for an Umformung der Tierfabel. The result is delightful. Mostly, the humor here works the way a fable works. Several times the connection with fables surfaces even more clearly. A cartoon on 6 shows La Fontaine walking through the woods. The crow declares to other animals: There is again this writer, who sounds us out for his stories and then alone pockets the fee. On 34, the wolf says Let's be human as he rips the throat of a lamb. He feels himself to be human since he heard the latest reports of human inventions for mass murder. Again on 46, the wolf proclaims Freedom everywhere! He breaks in among the lambs by night and in the dawn rubs his belly: free wolf among free sheep. The fly who wants to commit suicide on 49 has to hope that the sugar cube to which he has tied himself will keep him from returning to life when he jumps into the cup of coffee. On 76 an epigram declares that the fact that mountains labor and bear only a mouse is explainable: I have seen many a mountain labor and the result was not the humblest, littlest mouse. Now I need to find Effel's 1978 Au temps où les bêtes parlaient. His art continues to enchant me!
