«Llibre de les bèsties» is the sociopolitical apologue by Ramon Llull, published by Revistes I Coleccionables in paperback (160 pages, in Catalan).
Ramon Llull constructs here an animal allegory about power and courtly life, with an ironic tone that portrays human passions. Inspired by Calila and Dimna, it does not follow the tradition of medieval bestiaries but offers a didactic lesson on the human condition and the exercise of power.
The original text dates from 1288 and forms part of the Llibre de meravelles. This edition belongs to the Biblioteca Bàsica d'El Periódico collection.
For readers of medieval classics and Catalan literature, as well as for those who enjoy philosophical and political allegories.
Ramon Llull, sometimes anglicized as Raymond Lully, was a Catholic philosopher, theologian, poet, missionary, apologist and former knight, born in Palma de Mallorca. He invented a philosophical system known as the Art, conceived as a type of universal logic to prove the truth of Christian doctrine to interlocutors of all faiths and nationalities. The Art consists of a set of general principles and combinatorial operations. It is illustrated with diagrams.
