- Abstract
- en_US Here is a recent paperback facsimile of an 1846 book. I cannot easily make out its place in the history of this fascinating piece of literature. I presume that the 50 fables here are identical with those in a bilingual French/Creole edition of 1931. A first curiosity is that this title-page speaks of "Travesties en patois creole" while that had "Travesties en patois Martiniquais." I presume they refer to the same thing but with different names. This seems to be a facsimile of the first edition. I asked about that book whether the original might have been written by Francois Marbot, not mentioned there but credited with the work in "Zayann" in 2000? This text itself identifies him as "Un Vieux Commandeur." Here the cover identifies him as author, but I cannot find mention of him in the book! As I wrote of that later bilingual book, one can pick out perhaps a French word or two in each verse of the Bambou. 135 pages. 6" x 9".
