Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part two of the Gustave Doré illustrated collection of Jean de La Fontaine fables restored and enlarged. Volume 2 of The Fables of Jean de La Fontaine contains nearly 100 more fables illustrated by Gustave Doré plus an essay on the life and works of La Fontaine and Aesop the Phrygian. This timeless 19th-century collection is restored, enlarged, and printed as a two-volume set. Volume two features: - Enlarged 8 1/2" x 11" pages - More than 100 Gustave Doré illustrations, many full-page - Restored and digitally enhanced images - Publisher's original page layouts - Contemporary weathered type font - Walter Thornbury English translation - Dedication - Bold, retro-styled cover design - The Life and Works of Jean de La Fontaine - The Life of Aesop the Phrygian French poet, writer, and fabulist Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695) is famous for his fables that provide laughter, moral guidance, and life lessons. This rare collection of his work printed in the 1870s is embellished with the brilliant comical engravings of renowned French artist, Gustave Doré (1832-1883.) La Fontaine's Fables features some of Doré's most outrageous and humorous work. His drawings that highlight the look and feel of La Fontaine's writing are vastly different from his macabre illustrations for Dante's Inferno and Paradise Lost. His clever depictions of anthropomorphic animals in silly situations are charming, delightful, and technically brilliant. Fans of his lighthearted work for Droll Stories and Don Quixote will love La Fontaine's Fables. Selected Table of Contents: - Death and the Dying Man - The Woman and the Secret - The Joker and the Fishes - The Rat and the Oyster - The Two Friends - The Ass and the Dog - Jupiter and the Thunderbolts - The Falcon and the Pigeon - The Madman who sold Wisdom - The Acorn and the Gourd - The Wax Candle - The Man and the Snake - The Rabbits - The Lion - The Companions of Ulysses - The Two Goats - The Bat, the Bush, and the Duck - The Frogs and the Sun - And much more...

Book excerpt: THE FABLES OF LA FONTAINE: Books 1 to 4 (Illustrated) By: Jean de La Fontaine Translated by: Walter THORNBURY We no longer present the fables of Jean de La Fontaine. An edition including the first 4 books, with magnificent illustrations. It brings together all the fables of the first 4 books by Jean de La Fontaine illustrated. These fables, timeless masterpieces, in which we find fox, ant, turtle, rat, wolf and so many other familiar figures, arise from the imagination of the fabulist to enchant young and old. Jean de La Fontaine gives us a critical look, through a brilliant handling of verses and morals of relevant impertinence. Thanks to his talent, he was able to transform the tradition of fable into an exceptional art. These fables are a staple of the school.

This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume in large format (8.5 x 11 inch) encompasses the 12 books of the 240 Fables (plus introductions and epilogues) written by French poet Jean de La Fontaine, first published between 1668 and 1694 and here translated into English with notes and an explanatory preface by Elizur Wright. Of course, La Fontaine's special dedications to the King of France and to some members of the French noblesse, and introductions that accompanied certain fables are here transcribed and translated in full. Each and every of the fables are illustrated with a sketch plus a vignette by famous French artist and engraver Gustave Doré. Also, 89 large plates illustrate the best known fables, including some which were not published in the original Doré's printing of 1867. So this edition reunites all at the same time the exhaustive collection of the Fables of La Fontaine and all illustrations Gustave Doré has ever drawn for it. Most of La Fontaine's fables were in the main adapted from the classical fabulists Aesop, Babrius and Phaedrus. Elizur Wright's translations of the Fables are in prose; so their reading claims a consistent knowledge of the English tongue. Notes by the translator come to explain particular words, allusions and their origins that couldn't be fully understood otherwise, as for their historical and literary contexts whenever it is necessary. We changed the preface by the author Jean de La Fontaine for Elizur Wright's, which tell us more on the true origins and meanings of the fables. The reproductions of the sketches, vignettes and large plates by Gustave Doré have been done on the basis of a selection among the best we found in several original copies, since one may notice variations in contrast from one original printing to another. After we scanned them in high resolution, we fixed the small scratches and various imperfections of printing visible on any original copies, and we reviewed their contrasts so as to restitute their depths often lost due to insufficient inking during the printing process.For the making of this book, we have been all along anxious to publish the best version of the Fables of La Fontaine illustrated by Gustave Doré.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wonderful, vigorously contemporary translation, Craig Hill has captured the liveliness, satiric wit, and poetic beauty that made Jean de la Fontaine famous during his lifetime and his Fables celebrated as a masterwork of world literature ever since. Despite la Fontaine’s deceptively modest claim that all he intended was to put the moral tales of Aesop and other ancient fabulists into poetry for the pleasure of Louis XIV’s young son, his real accomplishment, as later generations have understood, was holding a mirror up to the society of his day and, in the process, fashioning a work that has become a classic. Borrowing from a variety of sources, la Fontaine gave the hitherto mute animals in ancient fables the power of speech. Backstabbing politicians, brainless nincompoops, charlatans, clueless heads of state, egomaniacs, empty-headed celebrities, foolish investors, gluttons, liars, penny–pinchers, self-important blowhards, and wastrels—these are the targets of la Fontaine’s pen. In this beautifully bound collector’s edition, Craig Hill has given us a rare treat: both the irreverent spirit and the vivid poetry that have made la Fontaine’s fables beloved through the ages, continuing to amuse and inspire centuries after they ?rst appeared in print.

Book excerpt: The Fables of La FontaineJean de La FontaineCOMPLETE - 12 BOOKS IN 1Translated from the French by Elizur Wright.With Notes by J. W. M. Gibbs.The Fables of Jean de La Fontaine were issued in several volumes from 1668 to 1694. They are classics of French literature.The first edition of this translation of La Fontaine's Fables appeared in Boston, U.S., in 1841. It achieved a considerable success, and six editions were printed in three years. Since then it has been allowed to pass out of print, except in the shape of a small-type edition produced in London immediately after the first publication in Boston, and the present publishers have thought that a reprint in a readable yet popular form would be generally acceptable.The translator has remarked, in the "Advertisement" to his original edition (which follows these pages), on the singular neglect of La Fontaine by English translators up to the time of his own work. Forty years have elapsed since those remarks were penned, yet translations into English of the complete Fables of the chief among modern fabulists are almost as few in number as they were then. Mr. George Ticknor (the author of the "History of Spanish Literature," &c.), in praising Mr. Wright's translation when it first appeared, said La Fontaine's was "a book till now untranslated;" and since Mr. Wright so happily accomplished his self-imposed task, there has been but one other complete translation, viz., that of the late Mr. Walter Thornbury. This latter, however, seems to have been undertaken chiefly with a view to supplying the necessary accompaniment to the English issue of M. Dor�'s well-known designs for the Fables (first published as illustrations to a Paris edition), and existing as it does only in the large quarto form given to those illustrations, it cannot make any claim to be a handy-volume edition. Mr. Wright's translation, however, still holds its place as the best English version, and the present reprint, besides having undergone careful revision, embodies the corrections (but not the expurgations) of the sixth edition, which differed from those preceding it. The notes too, have, for the most part, been added by the reviser.
