Abstract
-
en_US
Here is a 48-page school booklet offering thirty fables chosen from Aesop, Phaedrus, and a wide collection of German authors. Authors are listed in the closing numbered T of C but not with the fable texts themselves. The texts include both verse and prose. The black-and-white illustrations are large, varied in size, and simple. The book belonged to the Volkschule der Stadt Wien and was inscribed in 1933/34. The cover reads "Tierfabeln" although the title-page has "Dreissig Tierfabeln." A winged insect is the sole illustration on the dark green cover. My award for a great short fable goes to Lessing's "Der Affe und der Fuchs" (8). The monkey boasts, "Name me an animal whom I cannot imitate!" The fox answers "And name me an animal so insignificant that it would occur to him to imitate you!" On the next page Gellert's proud coachhorse raises his legs and asks the plowhorse when he can prompt such great respect. The plowhorse answers "Quiet. If I my industriousness did not plow the field, you wouldn't have the nourishment that makes your legs so proud."
