«Favole» is the collection of fables by Phaedrus, published by Opportunity Books in paperback (160 pages, in Italian and Latin).
The volume brings together the fables of Phaedrus, author of the first collection of fables in the classical world, with animal stories offering moral lessons on human conduct. The bilingual edition presents the Latin text with the Italian translation on the facing page, designed for comparing both versions.
This title belongs to the «La Biblioteca Ideale Tascabile» collection and was published in 1996; the Italian translation is by B. Pinchetti.
It is suitable for Latin students and readers interested in classical literature.
Gaius Julius Phaedrus or Phaeder was a 1st-century AD Roman fabulist and the first versifier of a collection of Aesop's fables into Latin. Nothing is recorded of his life except for what can be inferred from his poems, and there was little mention of his work during late antiquity. It was not until the discovery of a few imperfect manuscripts during and following the Renaissance that his importance emerged, both as an author and in the transmission of the fables.
