Abstract

en_US This small, pocket-format book has 560 pages. It is about 3½ x 4¼. As Victor's advertisement for it points out, it is richly illustrated with full-page black-and-white illustrations. Some of these are taken from Eugene Lambert. Another set, occurring especially at the beginning of each book, has no border. My sense from reviewing the visuals is that the reliance on second-hand illustrations probably means that the non-original fables of Krylov--especially those from La Fontaine--are more frequently illustrated here than are his original fables. Authors like Coxwell have said that eighty percent of Krylov's fables are original. The T of C at the back gives an overview; there are books or collections numbering, respectively, 22, 23, 21, 20, 26, 25, 26 (plus one?), 23, and 11 fables, with apparently five fables offered as an appendix. That would make for a total of 202, which squares with other totals I have found. Ripol did a more standard-sized edition of Krylov in 1997 with illustrations by I.V. Denisov. Is there any connection between the two books? This is another tight, well-made little book.
