Abstract

en_US I was able to find a date for this little paperback book through Google. It is a delightful book giving in each case a follow-up to what happened in La Fontaine's fable. Thus the fox that got the crow's cheese did not notice that it was laced with arsenic by a farmer trying to kill his mother-in-law (8). The mule carrying grain was surprised by a troop of famished horses who attacked him worse than anyone would have attacked a mule carrying gold (10-11)! The dog who met the free wolf turned sour on his job and finally broke free, but what did freedom mean to him? Apparently mostly meeting the wolf's four sisters (12)! When one hears a man cry against his oppressors I want liberty, cherchez Eve et cherchez la pomme! The wolf that consumed the lamb died after four days of agony for ingesting a sharp bone (17). This looks like God's revenge, but did not God make the wolf a meat-eating animal? And what is a meat-eating animal supposed to do? The man with the manuscript he does not understand, mentioned in CJ, brings it to the publisher who makes him a deal. And do not all those books sit in the stalls of the buchinistes along the Seine (23-24)? The French here is a step beyond me, but the notion is fascinating. Bravo, André Cachera!
