Download or read book Aesop s Fables Illustrated written by Aesop and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unbelievably rich in history, Aesop's Fables are known the world over for their educational cautionary tales about morality, justice, and truth. Most assume the fables were originally intended for the education of children, but they are rooted in much more complex and sophisticated beginnings. Turns out, "Aesop the fable writer" was a slave from ancient Greece in the 5th century, but since the fables were first passed down orally, no one really knows what fables originated with him from that time, which came later, or which came from another source altogether but were attributed to his name. In any case, to read the fables is to immerse oneself in basic issues of human psychology, relationships, and understanding of the world around us. The notion that this storied tradition began with a 5th century Greek slave, then grew with the contributions of multicultural voices and stories makes it an eternally relevant work.
