«Fables» is the collection of fables by Jean de La Fontaine, published by Flammarion in paperback (544 pages, in French).
Fables with personified animals —the tortoise, the crow, the hare, the ant or the lion— whose morals have become part of the collective imagination. La Fontaine dedicated the work to the Dauphin and used fiction as a pedagogical tool: beneath their apparent simplicity, the stories hide deeper readings that invite further exploration.
French edition from Flammarion's GF collection, with introduction and chronology by Alain-Marie Bassy, notes and bibliography by Yves Le Pestipon, illustrations by Virginie Berthelot and complete text.
French edition with critical apparatus, suitable for literature students and for adults who want to go beyond the childhood reading of the fables.
Jean de La Fontaine was a French fabulist and one of the most widely read French poets of the 17th century. He is known above all for his Fables, which provided a model for subsequent fabulists across Europe and numerous alternative versions in France, as well as in French regional languages.
