Paperback. First Edition Thus [1993], unstated. Fine in Wraps: binding square and secure; text clean. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 55pp. With a Foreword By Jack Zipes. Illustrated by Neil Welliver. First Edition Thus [1993], unstated. Trade Paperback. These 42 Roman fables from the early 5t…h century A.D. are translated into a free-verse style which is quite readable. They remained popular into the Middle Ages, with their emphasis on hyperbole, the grotesque, and ironic twists. Avianus's fables are retellings of the fables of Babrius's fables which are part of the Aesop and Indic fable tradition. Zipes' forward provides a very short history of the fable tradition. The translation by Slavitt is brilliant - the translation is loose in a way that allows Slavitt to translate the irony of the original. The fables are great fun to read - you'll never the heavily get the preachy tone that often appears in translations. Here you will meet Charlie the Tuna; you'll find the crabby crab mother lecturing "Why can't you look where you're going, go where you're looking, pick up your feet, put your best foot forward, try a little harder, stand up straight, pay attention, put yourself sometines in the other person's shoes, ." If you can't have fun with this collection of fables, don't be such a sourpuss, look on the bright side, did you get up on the wrong side of the bed? .(it's all in there).

Nevertheless, the lively and instructive fables of this early fifth~century Roman writer enjoyed significant popularity in Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Now the complete work of Avianus ~ forty~two elegiac fables in all ~ has been rendered into contemporary English verse by acclaimed translator David Slavitt. The volume also features four new illustrations by the artist Neil Welliver. The fables of Avianus show a world in flux, a topsy~turvy world, in which humor and cunning constitute the only saving grace for humans~and, one might add, the poet. While remaining true to the Aesopic spirit of depicting scenes of survival of the fittest in a blunt and candid manner, Avianus is fond of hyperbole and the grotesque, and he skillfully employs his hexameters to bring about an ironic twist that often makes the reader question traditional assumptions. Writing at a time when the Roman world was being transformed by the rise of Christianity, Avianus appears to voice doubt about humankind's ability to deal with change. But Avianus's voice was not a voice of despair. Like Aesop, he shows a clear preference in his fables for learning how to survive and for the underdog. These and other parallels between Avianus's world and our own are all the more striking in the splendid verse translations of David Slavitt. Speaking as clearly to us as he did to his Roman contemporaries, Avianus is once again revealed as a shrewd poet who can unmask hypocrisy and overcome adversity every bit as well as his savvy master Aesop.
