Abstract
-
en_US
I bought this book on eBay since -- as I recall -- it was advertised as containing fables. Though it contains no fables, it does have some lovely short Philosophical Romances, several of which I read. They are short and pointed narratives, fable-like in their pointedness. I can highly recommend The Rose and the Thorn (68); The Prince and His Two Mistresses (77); Two Kings and Their Queens (79); and The Mirror and the Mistress (85). The stories turn frequently on the surprising and complex character of the human heart.
