An extraordinary storyteller who used cunning foxes, surly dogs, clever mice, fearsome lions, and foolish humans to describe the reality of a harsh world, Aesop created narratives that are appealing, funny, politically astute, and profoundly true. And Aesop’s truth—often summed up in the pithy “moral of the story”—retains an awesome power to affect us, reaching us through both our intellects and our hearts. 內容推薦 This exclusive Signet Classic edition contains 203 of Aesop’s most enduring and popular fables, translated into readable, modern American English and beautifully illustrated with classic woodcuts by the great French artist J. J. Grandville. A number of Aesop’s masterpieces are recorded in this edition, including: “The Fox and the Grapes”, “The Ants and the Grasshopper” and “The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse” etc. Edited and with an Afterword by Jack Zipes With an Introduction by Sam Pickering 作者簡介 Aesop, according to various sources, was born in Phrygia, Lydia, Thrace, or Sardis, and lived from about 620 to 560 B.C. Little is known about his life, but Aristotle mentioned his acting as a public defender, and Plutarch numbered him as one of the “Seven Wise Men.” It is generally believed he was a slave, freed by his master because of his wit and wisdom. As Aesop became famous for his fables, which used animals as a code to tell the truth about political injustice, he incurred the wrath of the rulers, either inAthensorDelphi, and was executed. In about 300 B.C., Demetrius Phalereus ofAthensmade the first known collection of Aesop’s fables, which then spread far beyond the Greek world. Jack Zipes is a professor of German at theUniversityofMinnesota. He is the author of several books of fairy tales, including Breaking the Magic Spell and Don’t Bet on the Prince. He is also the editor of several volumes of fairy tales, including Beauties, Beasts and Enchantment: Classic French Fairy Tales, The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde, The Fairy Tales of Frank Stockton, and Arabian Nights. Sam Pickering teaches English at theUniversityofConnecticut. He has written more than two dozen books, including Waltzing the Magpies, an account of a year he and his family spent inWestern Australia, and Dreamtime. 目錄 A Note on the Text and Illustrations Introduction I The Fox and the Grapes II The Wolf and the Crane III The Archer and the Lion IV The Woman and the Fat Hen V The Kid and the Wolf VI The Hawk and the Pigeons VII The Eagle and the Fox VIII The Boy and the Scorpion IX The Fox and the Goat X The Old Hound XI The Ants and the Grasshopper XII The Fawn and Her Mother XIII The Horse and the Groom XIV The Mountain in Labor XV The Flies and the Honey Jar XVI The Two Bags XVII The Vain Crow XVIII The Wolf and the Lamb XIX The Bear and the Fox XX The Dog, the Cock and the Fox XXI The Cock and the Jewel XXII The Sea Gull and the Hawk XXIII The Fox and the Lion XXIV The Creaking Wheels XXV The Frog and the Ox XXVI The Farmer and the Snake XXVII The Lion and the Fox XXVIII The Fisherman and His Music XXIX The Domesticated Dog and the Wolf XXX The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse XXXI The Dog and the Shadow XXXII The Moon and Her Mother XXXIII The Fighting Cocks and the Eagle XXXIV The Man and the Satyr XXXV The Tortoise and the Eagle XXXVI The Mule XXXVII The Hen and the Cat XXXVIII The Old Woman and the Wine Bottle XXXIX The Hare and the Tortoise XL The Ass and the Grasshopper XLI The Lamb and the Camel XLII The Crab and Its Mother XLIII Jupiter and the Camel XLIV The Mouse and the Frog XLV The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf XLVI The Peach, the Apple, and the Blackberry XLVII The Hare and the Hound XLVIII The Stag in the Ox Stall XLIX The Crow and the Pitcher L The Lion and the Mouse LI The One-Eyed Doe LII The Trees and the Ax LIII The Lion, the Ass, and the Fox Who Went Hunting LIV The Travelers and the Bear LV The Belly and the Members LVI The Dolphins and the Sprat LVII The Blind Man and the Whelp LVIII The Sick Stag LIX Hercules and the Wagoner LX The Fox and the Woodcutter LXI The Monkey and the Camel LXII The Dove and the Crow LXIII The Ass and the Lap Dog LXIV The Hares and the Frogs LXV The Fisherman and the Little Fish LXVI The Wind and the Sun LXVII The Farmer and the Stork LXVIII The Lioness LXIX The Brash Candlelight LXX The Old Woman and the Physician LXXI The Charcoal-Burner and the Cloth-Fuller LXXII The Wolf and the Sheep LXXIII The Farmer and His Sons LXXIV The Wolves and the Sheep LXXV The Mole and Her Mother LXXVI The Swallow and the Crow LXXVII The Man Bitten by a Dog LXXVIII The Man and the Lion LXXIX The Monkey and the Dolphin LXXXI The Viper and the File LXXXII The Bundle of Sticks LXXXIII Jupiter, Neptune, Minerva, and Momus LXXXIV The Lion in Love LXXXV The Nurse and the Wolf LXXXVI The Birdcatcher and the Lark LXXXVII Jupiter and the Bee LXXXVIII The Travelers and the Plane Tree LXXXIX The Fox Without a Tail XC The Horse and the Stag XCI The Mischievous Dog XCII The Geese and the Cranes XCIII The Quack Frog XCIV Mercury and the Woodcutter XCV The Oxen and the Butchers XCVI The Goatherd and the Goats XCVII The Widow and the Sheep XCVIII The Marriage of the Sun XCIX The Thief and His Mother C The Gnat and the Bull CI The Lion, the Bear, and the Fox CII The Oak and the Reed CIII The Dog in the Manger CIV The Goose with the Golden Eggs CV The Lion and the Dolphin CVI The Comedian and the Farmer CVII The Dog Invited to Supper CVIII The Ass Loaded with Salt CIX The Thief and the Dog CX The Trumpeter Taken Prisoner CXI The Hunter and the Fisherman CXII The Fir Tree and the Bramble CXIII The Eagle and the Arrow CXIV The Two Pets CXV The Fisherman and Troubled Water CXVI
