Abstract

en_US Apparently originally done (in German?) by Laetare Verlag, Nürnberg. Claudius is a Brazilian of Italian extraction who began drawing cartoons for Jornal do Brasil. In the 1970's he created audiovisual resources for the Institute of Cultural Action. This paperback book turns out to be a find. With strong two-color cartoon drawings, Claudius develops three traditional fables and three other stories. In WL, the wolf wants to avoid the risks of hunting sheep, and so he trains a lamb as a hunter. Success! The lamb brings back a lamb, but now this hunter lamb has tasted blood and loves it! In The King, the autocratic lion dismisses first parliament and then advisers and finally ends up with technocrats and computers and everything running smoothly--until he falls into a hunter's pit. In Progress, a happy, healthy town decides that they need progress, and a learned man tells them that the one sure sign of progress is pollution. The people of this town die happy! The Message is about a king who decides that he can cross the desert he has created out of what was once lovely forest. The moral: You can make lovely country into a desert by degrees, but you cannot change it back by decrees. LM turns into a story about the mice forcing the netted lion to agree to elections. A peace candidate wins and enforces the peace against the old guard with African bees. In FC, the fox gets not only the crow's cheese but, as his agent, all his feathers--for sale. He advises the crow to dress up in traditional costumes. The tourists will love it! Good witty fun. Formerly owned by Lousville Presbyterian Seminary.
