Publisher's Synopsis
This book presents a French verse translation of the complete fables of Phaedrus. Phaedrus, a fabulist of Thracian origin, writing in Latin during the 1st century CE, adapted and expanded upon the earlier Greek fables of Aesop. His concise and witty verses, often featuring animal characters, offer moral lessons and insightful observations on human nature.
This translation seeks to capture the spirit and essence of Phaedrus's work in elegant French verse, making these timeless stories accessible to a wider audience. The volume offers both literary enjoyment and a glimpse into the classical tradition of fable writing. This book is a valuable resource for students of French language and literature, as well as anyone interested in the enduring appeal of classical fables.
