Abstract

en_US "I count some 33 fabulists represented in this fragile anthology of 210 pages. The largest contributors include the expected, Samaniego and Iriarte, and the unexpected, Hartzenbusch, Calderón de la Barca and Lope de Vega. A special feature of the book is the designs of Fernando Marco. They start with the front cover where the cat teaches a class of mice. One finds next a mouse fleeing on the page across from the title-page. I would say: the artist is out to surprise us and offer us some fun! The first fabulist here is Rafael Pombo, and his traditional "Lobster and Daughter" receives a nice, slightly off-center design of two lobsters (3). My eye was drawn immediately to the full-page illustration of Campoamor's "El concierto de los animales" on 13, where a crocodile is making great music on the harp! One notices for sure the name of Menendez-Pidal, an illustrious philologist and historian. This seems to be the first in a series of books for students. One wonders if the series was able to be sustained. I happened to notice Hartzenbusch's "Las Espigas" (31). This is a strong short poem, perhaps not a fable, but a telling image. Ears of wheat with fruit bow down; the empty stand straight. The wise man carries himself modestly, while the stupid exalts himself. That paraphrase just took me more words than Hartzenbusch uses!"
