«Fábulas» is the collection of fables by Félix María de Samaniego, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (528 pages, in Spanish).
Written by the Basque Enlightenment author in 1781, these verse fables adapt material from Aesop, Phaedrus, La Fontaine and John Gay in a natural, direct style aimed at child readers. The edition, edited by Alfonso I. Sotelo, examines the influence of the English fabulist John Gay on Samaniego and includes an appendix with the original sources of each fable.
Volume 431 of the Letras Hispánicas collection corresponds to the fourth edition of Samaniego's Fables.
Given its historical use as a school text and its direct style, it is suitable for young readers and for those new to the classics.
Félix María Serafín Sánchez de Samaniego y Zabala was a Spanish neoclassical fabulist.
