Fables de La Fontaine. Tome Premier by Jean de La Fontaine

"Fables de La Fontaine. Tome Premier" by Jean de La Fontaine is a collection of allegorical fables published between 1668 and 1694. Drawing inspiration from Aesop, Babrius, and Phaedrus, these tales feature anthropomorphic animals that convey moral lessons both explicit and implicit. La Fontaine revolutionizes the traditional fable genre through his distinctive style and wit. These works became cornerstones of French classical literature and essential teaching tools in French schools, shaping generations of students from the eighteenth century through the post-war period.
