1 | Aesop's Fables (Unabridged) | Aesop |
By their nature fables are "fabulous," larger than life, the characters often using wit and guile to save themselves from circumstances. Aesop's Fables are morality plays. They illustrate what was fundamental to Greek culture. Their appeal to us lies in a logic we can still understand. This awakens an appreciation of how far ahead of their time the Greeks were, how enduring their thought was, and how much we have to be grateful to them. This collection features 185 of these famous fables. |
