Excerpt from Fables
Il est une Muse ingénue Qui, née en de lointains climats, Sous le beau ciel de France aime à porter ses pas. Plus d'un coeur sympathique y fête sa venue. Elle ne chante pas d'une éclatante voix Les hauts faits des guerriers et les malheurs des rois Plus simple en ses récits, conteuse familière, Elle prête un langage aux divers animaux Elle peint leurs instincts leurs moeurs, ample matiere, Sourit à leurs plaisirs, s attendrit sur leurs maux, Nous montre les uns bons, simples, justes les autres Cruels, astucieux, pervers Elle esquisse enfin' leurs travers, Qui ressemblent assez aux nôtres. L'enfant au coeur naïf, le vieillard plein de jours.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of fables written by the author, each one a reflection on the absurdity and injustice that humans inflict on other humans and other animals. Part inspired by La Fontaine, and containing many familiar characters from Aesop, one will find all manner of creatures, both real, and fantastical, acting out the author's acute social commentary. The stories are not merely for entertainment, but to highlight the myriad ways in which humans misunderstand one another, contend with prejudice and inequality, or fail to understand their place in the world around them. Through the author's poetic storytelling, this book gives voice to those who cannot speak for themselves, and can help us all understand better our own lives, and the world around us.
