Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fantastic Fables By Ambrose Bierce Over 200 fantastic fables from the bitter pen of Ambrose Bierce fill this little volume to overflowing with a rich feast of his misanthropy. Bierce didn't miss a thing-greedy politicians, thieving doctors, not so pious holy men, aldermen, poets, naturalists, poodles, lions, kangaroos, judges, diplomats, legislators-all fall under close scrutiny in a delicious blend of sarcasm and satire that leaves no institution or pomposity of modern life unscathed. Called the American Swift, Bierce is one of the rare masters of the fable: like Aesop and La Fontaine, often personifying objects, animals, and even abstract concepts to reinforce his satire.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Fables: With Many Engravings The fox being an animal remarkable for his cunning, and for the address with which he procures his food and avoids danger, we find him a very prominent character in the fables of Esop and others. It must be confessed, however, that many things are put to his account and laid to his charge, with which he could not have had anything to do; and I rather think that if he could be made to understand this fable, he would clear himself at once of all suspicions regarding depredations in a vineyard: a hen-house I fancy, is much more to his taste, and here his artifices and success are wonderful. However, we must let Esop te'l his story in his own way, merely accomodating him with a few rhymes, which we hope will convey his meaning.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aesop's Fables In presenting to the little readers this book of Fables, no wish is entertained to create in them a belief that there ever was a time when beasts and birds could talk. A fable is a feigned narration, designed to convey instruction. The practice of teaching in this way is of very ancient origin, and is continued to this day. Reproof thus administered has often produced the desired effect when open rebuke would have served only to offend or irritate. Most of these fables are attributed to AEsop, a person whose history is involved in ranch obscurity. We know but little more of him than that he lived in a remote period of time, and wrote many amusing and instructive tables.

"I don't think you are very good walking," it said. "I am a little particular about what I have underfoot. Suppose you get off into the water."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fantastic Stories As the ceaseless, dreary rain after a severe thunderstorm, when clap has succeeded clap with fearful rapidly, so, after the mighty struggles of the first weeks of the Franco-German War, followed the monotonous siege of Paris. And like the wanderer who, during the first violence of the storm, has gladly renounced all idea of pursuing his journey, to seek shelter under some friendly roof, as the echoes of the last thunderclap die away, looking again and again from the window on the misty landscape, impatient for the rain to cease, so we waited and watched for the hour which should conduct us to our hearths and homes in the brilliant rays of the Sun of Peace. But week after week, and month after month passed by, and no white flag appeared upon the walls of the forts.
