About This Item
USA: American Book Company, 1903 VERY NICE LOOKING GRAY BOOK, DESIGN AND PRINT ON FRONT AND SPINE IN BLACK, INITIALS INSIDE FRONT, NO OTHER MARKINGS, TIGHT, VERY GOOD SHAPE. KENNETH MCKENZIE, INSTRUCTOR IN ROMANCE LANGUAGES IN YALE UNIVERSITY PROVIDES PREFACE. ENGLISH ANNOTATION, FABLES ARE IN FRENCH, A VOCABULARY IN THE BACK FRENCH TO ENGLISH. La Fontaine, Jean de (1621-95). Poet, known above all for his Fables, which have been read, learned, and recited by French children and adults for three centuries. He wrote much else besides, in a variety of genres. Often seen as one of the principal authors of French classicism, he appears rather as an idiosyncratic individualist. His tastes ranged from Plato to Rabelais, from the romances of chivalry to Malherbe, and his writings show a love of experiment as well as a sensitivity to contemporary taste.
