Abstract

en_US There are here some 180 original fables by Steinbarg on some 321 pages. There may be something special about this 1969 edition. The most striking of the twelve woodcuts may show the lamb facing a panel of wolf, bear, and fox. I would not want to be in his skin whatever is happening! The frontispiece, presumably of Steinbarg, is also impressive. It seems to combine a certain geometric character with a kind of industrial heaviness. For comments on the stories, see the English translation, The Jewish Book of Fables: Selected Works (2003) from Syracuse University Press. My two copies both have weaknesses: this better copy from Meir Beizunski finds it front cover separating. The second copy shows stains on the cover. I will keep both in this collection under the same ID number.
