Abstract
-
en_US
A large-format, brightly-pictured book of twelve fables. Some of Krylov's best are included, like The Swan, the Pike, and the Crab (11), The Quartet (16), and The Wolf and the Cat (26). Two new favorites here are the title fable (14) and The Miser (18), which also has perhaps the best illustration. Generally there are two pages and two illustrations per fable, one thinner and/or L-shaped. Krylov began fable work by translating La Fontaine. He wrote 150 fables on his own. His original collection appeared in 1809 and was a big success. From then on he wrote nothing but fables. From 1812 on, he lived in the St. Petersburg Imperial Public Library. The sources page (32) is encouraging: this collection now includes everything they mention except an old Penguin paperback apparently taken from Pares' translation.
