Abstract
-
en_US
A treasure in very good condition. Twenty-two fables preceded by a photo of Rabier. The colored pictures are particularly funny, e.g., of the dead dog with paddles and wings (7), the masked rabbit (52-3), or the drunken revolutionary animals (80-1). Rabier's fables argue strongly for status quo thinking. Dreams of greatness, ease, and universal kindness lead to ruin. Too much kindness hurts. Revolutions give birth to profit-makers. Animals staging a revolution finally ask the humans if they may return to their former life--while the fox has profited immensely from the whole revolutionary silliness. Rabier cuts deep like LaFontaine even in comic fables like that of the gossiper dog Faraud (67-8) who surrounds himself with an artificial audience. A real delight!
