Book Title: Aesops’S Fables
ISBN: 9781789542622
By Author(s):CARLO GEBLER
By Publisher:HEAD OF ZEUS
Format:PB

A witty, scatological illustrated version of the world’s most celebrated fables, allegedly written by a slave in the 5th century BC. A book for our times: as Gbler notes, Aesop has two subjects the exercise of power and the experience of the powerless, who endure life and all that it inflicts on them. This retelling of the Fables makes them relevant and richly enjoyable. Gavin Weston’s brilliant images complement Gbler’s prose. Large and fierce animals kill and butcher weaker creatures; gods play games with the hopes and fears of lesser species, including men and women; and occasionally the weak turn the tables on the strong, exposing their pretensions. This is a stunning new version of a book that was often bowdlerised and used to teach moral lessons to children. Gbler’s Aesop is darker and more realistic, and compulsively readable.
