- Abstract
- en_US Here is an unusual book. It has 183 A4 pages with the binding Xerox shops use for "books" that they produce. A preface helps focus Couceiro's concern: the need of contemporary humans to reflect. He calls attention to fable as the slave's response to the master and insists that there are still slaves. He will deal with traditional fables but with an eye to their current relevance in an age that seems to lack ethics. Thus the first fable, LM, begins with the mouse singing to the joy of freedom. Characters speak at length in verse, and their dialogue is accompanied by about one black-and-white design per page. In fact, most of the fables listed on the beginning T of C without page numbers are traditional fables. Couceiro reveals his thinking perhaps most clearly in the final long fable "O Homem e o homem." It tracks the history of human enslavement and subjugation and cries out for the final moment when one human will say to another "Brother!"
