Abstract

en_US I have long looked forward to enjoying this book. As I learn a little bit about the critical battles over fable interpretation of the last fifty years, this book stands out as a beginning of a re-appreciation of fable. Doderer proclaims that the death of fable announced around mid-century is a misperception. The genre was and is strong. He speaks eloquently against a method of identifying an ideal sense of fable and then measuring everything as lacking against this ideal. He is ready rather to see fable in many places and to enjoy it in all of them. He begins then, after an engaging introduction, with investigations of four sample fables by, respectively, Aesop, Luther, Lessing, and Kafka. He moves on in his second chapter to the world of the fable figures, including their social conflicts. Doderer's third chapter grows out of the Wahrheitssuche that he sees in fable. The fourth chapter investigates the structural elements of fable and looks at fable's neighboring genres. Fabeln als Jugendlektüre is Chapter Five. Chapter Six handles fable theories. Chapter Seven offers a look into various ages of fable in history, including ancient, medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, 18th century, Between Enlightenment and the 20th Century, and finally contemporary fable authors. This is besides a lovely book with perhaps eight pages of full color and a panoply of historical illustrations. I am grateful for this chance at last to look inside, and I look forward to a thorough study of it someday.
