Abstract
-
en_US
My first find in Germany on this trip. Of course Herr Hoffmann had said that he had nothing for me; I also found a Desbillon edition. Very large format. It is strange that so deliberate a book includes no date of publication. The large illustrations--eight on a single page, and five spreading across two--have their own style: big and strong on the texture of the brush-strokes. Perhaps the strongest include the two-page spreads of the camel and horses, the fox and the tiger, and the apes. Good and new to me: Die Maus, Der Stier und der Hirsch, and Die Nachtigall und die Lerche. It can be difficult here to distinguish Lessing's poetic from his prose fables. Are those last two questions in FS directed to the reader? There are thirty-eight of Lessing's 105 fables here, including one set of two ( Die Wohltaten ) and one of four ( Der Rangstreit der Tiere ).
