  • av Aesop
    182,-

    A collection of charming and enduring stories that convey morals to young and old alike.Aesop was a slave and storyteller who lived in ancient Greece around 620564 BC. No writings by him exist (if they ever existed at all), yet numerous stories and tales have been credited to him and have been shared through oral tradition throughout the world. Many of these use animals as the main characters to convey deeper meanings and morals that have become ingrained in our cultural--and personal--belief systems. For example, in ';The Goatherd and the Goat' we learn that there is no use trying to hide what can't be hidden. In ';The Ass and the Purchaser' we find that people are known by the company they keep. In ';The Boys and the Frogs,' one person's pleasure may be another person's pain. ';The Dogs and the Fox' show how easy it is to kick a man when he's down. And misery loves company, as we see in ';The Fox Without a Tail.' * The widely popular collection of stories has sold millions of copies and has been translated into countless languages and dialects.Aesop's Fables have been one of the world's most charming collections of stories that have influenced thousands of other literary works.
