- Abstract
- en_US I fell in love with this landscape-formatted book as soon as I saw it. I had not even known of the beautiful tile walls of the monastery that are pictured in photographs here. There are thirty-eight of these murals, as the closing T of C makes clear. For each we get the fable in Portuguese and French, a detail from the mural, and then a fuller picture of the mural's fable scene. I have several favorites here. Maybe a part of the pleasure is seeing Oudry so faithfully presented in the medium of blue-and-white ceramic tile. First of these is The Bear and the Lover of Gardens (43). Others include The Two Friends (77); The Two Goats (89); The Astronomer Who Fell into a Well (113): SS (117); and AD (173). There are several colored pictures of the monastery itself at the very front and the back before the T of C. Martins' introduction makes a point that Oudry's grand four-volume edition of La Fontaine came out in 1659, the year in which Pombal expelled the Jesuits. I would never have thought to put these two events together in time! This is a lovely book!
