Aesops Fabeln. Illustriert von Arthur Rackham

The animals in Aesop's fables speak as vain and limited as many humans do, and they are just as greedy and proud. No wonder, since the ancient Greek poet was not really concerned with foxes and lambs, frogs and doves. In his famous fables, he rather took aim at the vices and weaknesses of his fellow humans. The stories originated around 2500 years ago and yet read like miniatures about people we think we know. Featuring the classic and particularly beautiful illustrations by the British artist Arthur Rackham. Includes approximately 80 black-and-white illustrations by Arthur Rackham.
