Description: Title: The Complete Fables Author: Aesop Publisher: Penguin Group Binding: Paperback Pages: 96 Dimensions: 7.84h x 5.08w x 0.69d Product Weight: 0.46 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9780140446494 'Many people are not in the least disturbed at the harm that befalls them, provided they can see their enemies' downfall first' In a series of pithy, amusing vignettes, Aesop created a vivid cast of characters to demonstrate different aspects of human nature. Here we see a wily fox outwitted by a quick-thinking cicada, a tortoise triumphing over a self-confident hare and a fable-teller named Aesop silencing those who mock him. Each jewel-like fable provides a warning about the consequences of wrong-doing, as well as offering a glimpse into the everyday lives of Ancient Greeks.This definitive edition is the first translation into English of the entire corpus of 358 unbowdlerized fables. It is fully annotated, with an introduction that rescues the fables from a tradition of moralistic interpretation. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
