Abstract
-
en_US
This impressive, well-crafted, well-illustrated, heavy book is divided into ten sections. Some of them are Was ist Weistheit?, Das Recht des Stärkeren, and Der Schlaue überlebt. The contents are not what I expected. These stories are developed beyond the usual limits of traditional fables. There is for example an early (6) story by Manfred Kyber of a fight between two roosters. This is the typical stuff of traditional fables. And a hen with her chicks urges the two to stop fighting over nothing. This useless intervention is still true enough to the tradition. But when the hawk comes down to seize one of the hen's chicks, she lays into him with fury until he must leave the scene, defeated by the hen and the human help she occasioned. Traditional authors are well represented here, including Aesop, Busch, Gay, Grimm, Hey, La Fontaine, and Lessing. There is a treasurehouse of good material here! Notice this little gem from Novalis (41). A wolf asks a fox if he has read the lion's satire against the fox and will answer him. Yes, I have read it, says the fox, but I will not follow your advice. For the lion could answer me in a powerful way! Here is a bit from Kafka (51): a mouse was complaining that the world has become narrower, for she has run far and finally met a wall and a corner. Just change your direction, the cat said and ate her up. Günther Anders (98) tells of the gnat who hears a lion roar for the first time and tells the chicken He buzzes in funny fashion. She answers Buzzing is good. Rather he cackles, but he cackles in funny fashion. The illustrations are colorful. Though meant for children, they focus well on what the story has to offer or teach, and they help to keep a playful tone alive. At the end there is both a T of C and a list of sources. This book is a tasteful treasure!
