Abstract

en_US Here is a selection of the 279 fables that Pestalozzi wrote in German, roughly in the period from 1780 to 1790. There is a T of C at the back. The book is very well preserved for having been published sixty years ago; in fact, many of its pages are still uncut. I have sampled Pestalozzi's fables here and on the web. They are not meant for children. They seem rather to give his basic anthropological view. I enjoy, for example, La montagne et la plaine (22), in which the mountain says I am higher than you. The plain responds. That may be, but I am the whole, and you are just an exception. A charioteer passes over a frozen lake and claims that there is no better route in the whole world. The lake answers When I cease to be held by ice, I am a lot better. Your praise is based on my death. I would prefer to live and be less useful to chariots (81). I think there could be a lot of fun and insight among these fables, even though what I have read underscores that they are uneven in quality.
