Download or read book Fifty Fables Classic Reprint written by La Fontaine and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Fables The universal use of La Fontaine's Fables in education, both in France and elsewhere, and the frequency of refer ences to them in French literature, render unnecessary any apology for this book. The editor has tried to supply what he has long felt to be urgently needed, a convenient and suitable selection of the Fables, edited in a scholarly manner with English annotation. The fifty here given, including nearly all the best known ones, and a few that are less familiar, will be as many as most classes care to read. Those who wish to devote further study to the Fables should have a complete edition, such as that of Regnier or of Clement (see Introduction, p. Regnier is here followed as to text and punctuation, except that the names of animals are not capitalized, and that a few words have been modernized; -ot't and -01'ent in verb endings are changed to -ait and - aie7zt; other changes are indicated in the notes. The editor hereby expresses his obligation to the two editions mentioned above, as well as to the other works referred to in the Introduction; Edgren and Burnet's french-english Dictionary has been useful in suggesting English renderings. The vocabulary is in tended to include every word in the text (including the Appendix, and quotations in the notes). Idiomatic phrases are to be sought in the Vocabulary, and translations are avoided in the notes. Perfect consistency has sometimes been sacrificed to convenience. Such information as seems.

Download or read book Up to Date Fables Classic Reprint written by R. B. Kerr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Up-to-Date Fables Public Opinion decided that man's sphere was the home, where he was not likely to learn too much. So the men worked hard at domestic duties from morning to night, while the women went out and worked at their occupations for eight or ten hours a day. After their work was over, the women went to concerts, theatres, and other places of amusement, and spent all their money over and above what they needed for the bare maintenance of the family. They never gave the men any money, but they gave them their food and clothes. They never dreamed of paying the men for their hard labor, for they considered a man very lucky to have a bread winner to save him from starvation. In spite of all precautions a number of young men found out the existence of-water and the fact that there was such a thing as washing. The effect of the discovery varied according to the temperament of the individual. The majority adhered to the belief that washing was wrong. Had not their grand mothers said it? Had not the priests said it? A number of others said that they did not believe washing was nice, and they would rather not hear about it at all. Some had a natural dis like to cleanliness, and never lost a chance of parading their virtue. On the other hand, there were some who scorned the conventional morality and boldly washed. Many more, how ever, pretended to be very moral, but secretly enjoyed the de lights of washing, to the injury of their characters and the great advancement of the art of lying.

Download or read book One Hundred Fables Classic Reprint written by Jean De La Fontaine and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred Fables The French regard La Fontaine as one of their greatest poets. He is certainly the most popular, and French litera ture is so penetrated with his fables that an intimate acquaint ance with them is necessary in order to understand it. For this reason alone all students of French literature should read these fables, which have, however, a decided linguistic and literary value of their own, aside from their influence on modern literature. The present edition contains a larger number of these fables than most other editions with English notes, thus not only furnishing more reading-matter for interested stu dents, but also allowing a larger range of choice in case it is not deemed advisable to read the entire collection. All of the most popular fables are here included, and all, or nearly all, that have any distinct literary value. A few unimportant ones have been added merely because they were. Easy or amusing. Standard editions contain two hundred and thirty eight fables. A few of these are too long for an edition of this kind, and a few otherwise excellent fables contain passages inappropriate for reading in class. Some attempt has been made to arrange the fables in the order of their difficulty, and consequently no long or difficult one has been placed near the beginning of the book. For the convenience of the instructor in assigning lessons, care has been taken that several long fables shall not immediately follow each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fables and Rhymes AEsop and Mother Goose The nineteenth century has been a period of wonderful changes. Discoveries and inventions of vast importance have followed each other in rapid succession. Many things which a few years ago were enjoyed exclusively by the rich, are to-day common among the poor; but from none of the improved conditions of life is it possible for us to secure greater benefit than from the present accessibility of good books. In the fields of literature, once reserved for only a favored few, all men to-day meet on nearly the same plane and may share, at least in part, its treasures. Next to the alphabet, the Invention of greatest value is that of printing. Certainly a large part of what is called an education - even the knowledge of facts, which is often mistaken for real education - is gained directly from books. In educating our children, It is then of the first importance to teach them to read, and with the opportunities for obtaining the best in literature constantly increasing we look to the primary school, to which is entrusted the entire education of so large a percentage of all of our children, to teach them not only to read, but to read easily, so that they will like to read, and thus form a habit of reading. The wise teacher will not be led astray by the example of a few superficial teachers, who, through a desire to find a short cut to culture, are gaining the semblance rather than the substance by at once plunging the young pupil, without previous preparation, into the midst of literature. She will content herself for a time with teaching her pupils the art of reading, with giving them the ability to find out what the printed word says, and encouraging them to discover for themselves the thought concealed therein. If she succeeds in accomplishing this, she has at least placed in the pupil's hands a key to the storehouse of knowledge. But while learning to read is the first and most important step In the direction of an education, and while the habit of reading is perhaps singly the best educational habit, a taste for good reading is certainly an acquisition the value of which can hardly be over estimated.
