About This Item
"...the lively and instructive fables of this early fifth-century Roman writer (Avianus) 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.
Speaking as clearly to us as he did to his Roman contemporaries, Avianus is once again revealed as a shrewd poet who can unmark hypocrisy and overcome adversity every bit as well as his savvy master Aesop."
