Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Preface to the Fables These qualities, so admirably described by Dr Johnson, shine with undiminished lustre in the preface to the Fables. Though he had come within twenty years of the old gentleman who desired the ladies to count fourscore and eight before they judged him for mounting his horse somewhat heavily, his judgment was not impaired, nor the natural force of his mind abated. Ln memorable words he declares that thoughts, such as they are, come crowding in so fast upon me, that my only difficulty is to choose or to reject; to run them into verse, or to give them the other harmony of prose. His critical faculty is as keen, his taste as judicious, as when he wrote the Essay on Dramatic Poesy. He still wins the reader by his engaging frankness and unaffected modesty. His style has 'lost none of its ease, lucidity, and vigour, suffused with genial humour, and lighted up by occasional flashes of vivid satire.

Download or read book The Personal and the Political written by Charles de Secondat baron de Montesquieu and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2008 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Personal and the Political presents three fables written by social commentator and political thinker Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brede et de Montesquieu: The Temple of Cnidus (on eros and justice), Lysimachus (on philosophy and imperial ambition), and Dialogue de Sylla et d'Eucrate (on the limits of political ambition). This work is author W.B. Allen's response to attempts that collapse Montesquieu's analysis of modern political philosophy into a general discussion of virtue and morality by raising anew the issues of true and false happiness and pleasures. Allen maintains that Montesquieu's fables demonstrate the continuing relevance of the issue of philosophical morality, and offer a reconciliation of the tension between philosophical morality and political morality. The Personal and the Political provides a translation of each fable (with parallel French text), a brief introduction and commentaries to develop the context in which each is written and the situations that they address. Each fable is suited to introduce Montesquieu's conceptions of ancient virtues and vices, and what they contribute to modern sensibilities.
Download or read book The Fables of Odo of Cheriton written by John C. Jacobs and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1985-04-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the first complete collections of medieval Latin fables to appear in modern English. Odo of Cheriton (c. 1185- c. 1247) wrote sophisticated fables, filled with great wit and humor, yet highly moral, even didactic, in keeping with the age in which he lived—one vigorous in religious, philosophic, scientific, and social debate and conflict. Jacobs’ translation of the 117 fables makes them available to a new readership at a time when interest in fables, parables, and fairy tales is growing. In addition to the fables themselves, Jacobs has provided a substantial Introduction which discusses Odo of Cheriton’s life and his 13th-century world. As the first comprehensive discussion of Odo’s career and critical analysis of the fables, the Introduction will interest medievalists and a broad range of readers. Drawing upon modern critical techniques, Jacobs sheds new light on medieval narrative and modes of interpretation. He also shows how the moralizing commentaries attached to representative fables are integral to the fables’ narrative art. The text is illustrated with seventeen exceptional sketches taken from the album of Villard de Honnecourt— a near contemporary of Odo. These drawings have a fluid vitality which perfectly complements the delightful narratives.
