Abstract
-
en_US
This 112-page book has a list of fabulists and a list of illustrations on its last page. The choice of representatives in this anthology puts stress on ancients, La Fontaine, Bidpai, and Germans. All the selections here are in prose. The style of illustration that Forster employs is simple. There is a short essay at the end: Allgemeines zu Fabel. The print in this essay is so small that it tests one's eyes! There are very good fables among this collection, starting with the very first, Lessing's Der alte Löwe (5). I miss, however, some organization, whether by subject or era or author. Other worthy fables I have noticed here in the first third include Pfeffel's Das Glühwürmchen und die Kröte (6); Meissner's Der schwörende Wolf (27); Langbein's Der Igel und der Hase (32); and Gleim's Der Löwe und der Fuchs (36). This book prints the US military government's permission to publish. Actually, it is a surprise to see a fable book published in Germany in 1946!
