Abstract
-
en_US
This softbound book is a treasure! As I have noted elsewhere, Bierce is rarely illustrated. Well, here is a wild and wonderful set of illustrations for his work. They are worthy of the biting character of the fables themselves. The bibliographic notice says that about two-thirds of Bierce's 225 fables from Fantastic Fables are used here. The others, Papy writes, either do not translate well into French or are frankly bad! Other fables are included from several other sources. Among my favorites here I will mention a couple, but this book will bear plenty more exploration. A major portion of it is still uncut. Be sure to check The Lassoed Bear, The Crimson Candle, The Lion and the Sheep, and How Leisure Came. Papy's introduction says well of Gauthier's illustrations that one does not know whether the image is an illustration of the text or the text is a commentary on the image. There are, alas, no page numbers, T of C, or AI.
