Product Description

Product Description

Jean de La Fontaine (July 8, 1621 – April 13, 1695) was the most famous French fabulist and one of the most widely read French poets of the 17th century.

This edition contains a Preface de l’éditeur et de l'auteur (Editor and author annotations)

The Fables exhibit the versatility and fecundity of the author's talent more fully than any of his other work. La Fontaine had many predecessors in the fable, especially in the beast fable. The poet took inspiration from Aesop, Horace, Boccaccio and Ariosto and Tasso, Machiavelli's comedies and ancient Indian literature, such as the Panchatantra:

Les Fables choisies, mises en vers par M. de La Fontaine (ou plus simplement Les Fables) est une œuvre de Jean de La Fontaine écrite entre 1668 et 1678. Il s’agit, comme son nom l’indique, d’un recueil de fables écrites en vers, la plupart mettant en scène des animaux anthropomorphes et contenant une morale au début ou à la fin. Œuvre tout à la fois de poésie et de pensée : car les Fables offrent une méditation en acte sur la nature et les effets de la parole, spécialement politique, et de leur propre énonciation

By Nellyes
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A tortoise, a crow, a fox, a hare, an ant, a lion and even a milk pot : as many familiar features which fill among many others our mind... they appear regularly and we owe them to Monsieur de La Fontaine's wonderfil talent. He is the prince of poets, he had known how to tranform an old tradition, that of the fable into an exceptional skill which charms the ear while enchanting the soul. He woke up forrests,gave life to animals and that way managed to caricature men.
Morality : it would be totally wrong not to read those old testaments of mankind those please children and make adults smile, their impertinence is without doubt the key of their neverending success. That we tell them by heart for school or just for oneself, one cannot resist the pleasure of the fable...

Les Plus belles fables ne sont pas tres belles 13 July 2011
By Suzy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered and returned 2 copies of this small book from Amazon. In both copies, the black and white printing was extremely faded and the page was not in place when the printing took place. On some pages the print started about 1/4 the way down so the bottom 1/4 of the text did not get printed on the page.
