Abstract
-
en_US
Here is a nicely produced book by a translator/author of whom I had never heard. He is not in Bodemann. I found the book at the last bookshop on a warm and exhausting afternoon walking through Utrecht and visiting many antiquarial bookshops. Frans Verachtert, born in 1909, seems to be best known for Voorsale des Hemels. Here he offers ninety-nine rhyming verse translations of La Fontaine's fables, accompanied by illustrations taken from Karl Girardet, specifically from a Tours (presumably Mame) edition of 1858. I have Mame editions of 1890, 1901, and 1902 featuring the illustrations of the Swiss Girardet, who died in Paris in 1871. This book is printed on strong paper. Pages containing an illustration contain nothing else, and illustrations appear only on left-hand pages. The dust-jacket's front cover, slightly stained, features Fortune and the Child at the Well. The dust-jacket's back cover has The Ass's Confession. The book's front cover has a nice gold line-sketch of a cat's face.
