Abstract

en_US This is a heavy book with thick covers and 192 pages filled with colorful illustrations, most frequently one fable to a page. The illustration style is that popular in published books these days: colorful and sometimes sentimental sketches including the main characters of the story. The style tends to be adequate to the fables but also to produce, I believe, few memorable images. Still, my favorites here include La zorra y el perro (31), Laz zorras y el río Meandro (135), MM (146), FG (165), and TMCM (192). This edition identifies the author with each fable and gives an explicit moral after each. The book's first page declares Fábulas de Animales. Other sections include Fábulas Fantásticas, Fábulas de Naturaleza, and Fábulas Escogidas. The selection represents a wonderfully wide spectrum of authors, including a number from Eastern cultures. Lessing is sometimes listed with one name and sometimes with three. I am surprised at the Aesopic fable about a dragon on 52. On 64, we find the fable usually presenting a woman who is transformed into a cat, but here it is a man who is transformed. The illustration shows him reaching for a mouse at the wedding! On 81, we find a good representation of Four Friends from Kalila and Dimna, here presented as Popular India. The AI at the end is curious because it works off of Il and La. Almost all of the titles are grouped together under those two initial words.
