Abstract
-
en_US
This presentation of FS accentuates the human in the animals in several ways. Both are dressed and stand upright. The host fox, like a good waiter in a restaurant, carries a cloth draped over his forearm as he seats the stork. I find the stork's expression surprising and telling as she sees that she cannot eat the fox's offering. She blushes. Her eyes are shut. Her "arms" are crossed over the back of the chair as she does not even sit down to the steaming soup in its shallow bowl. On the next pair of pages, we see a clever phone call from her rooftop perch to the basking fox on his cell phone. Next, we see her at work dutifully in an apron in her kitchen. I appreciate one last touch of Cordier's. The last pair of pages shows the fox in the distance trudging home hungry and ashamed. The stork in the foreground holds her head reflectively in her "hand" as she writes someting. La Fontaine's text is also talking, I believe, about "trompeurs" who deceive by their writing.
