Inspired new translations of the work of one of the world's greatest fabulists Told in an elegant style, Jean de la Fontaine's (1621-95) charming animal fables depict sly foxes and scheming cats, vain birds and greedy wolves, all of which subtly express his penetrating insights into French society and the beasts found in all of us. Norman R. Shapiro has been translating La Fontaine's fables for over twenty years, capturing the original work's lively mix of plain and archaic language. This newly complete translation is destined to set the English standard for this work. Awarded the Lewis Galantière Prize by the American Translators Association, 2008.

In this wonderful, vigorously contemporary translation, Craig Hill has captured the liveliness, satiric wit, and poetic beauty that made Jean de la Fontaine famous during his lifetime and his Fables celebrated as a masterwork of world literature ever since. Despite la Fontaine’s deceptively modest claim that all he intended was to put the moral tales of Aesop and other ancient fabulists into poetry for the pleasure of Louis XIV’s young son, his real accomplishment, as later generations have understood, was holding a mirror up to the society of his day and, in the process, fashioning a work that has become a classic. Borrowing from a variety of sources, la Fontaine gave the hitherto mute animals in ancient fables the power of speech. Backstabbing politicians, brainless nincompoops, charlatans, clueless heads of state, egomaniacs, empty-headed celebrities, foolish investors, gluttons, liars, penny–pinchers, self-important blowhards, and wastrels—these are the targets of la Fontaine’s pen. In this beautifully bound collector’s edition, Craig Hill has given us a rare treat: both the irreverent spirit and the vivid poetry that have made la Fontaine’s fables beloved through the ages, continuing to amuse and inspire centuries after they ?rst appeared in print.

Outre les contes, et surtout les fables qui constituent toute sa gloire, La Fontaine s'est essayé dans tous les genres mais ses fables, au nombre de 243 restent son chef-d'oeuvre. Certains considèrent La Fontaine comme un copieur qui n'a rien inventé. La Fontaine s'est peut-être inspiré de ces fables anciennes écrites par Esope, Horace, Abstémius, Phèdre pour la culture grecque ou encore Panchatantra et Pilpay dans la culture indienne, mais il les a considérablement améliorées et écrites dans une langue belle et simple. La fable n'est plus la sèche démonstration d'une morale, c'est un court récit à l'intrigue rapide et vive. La souplesse et le naturel du style sont en réalité le fruit d'un grand travail où le poète a manifesté sa parfaite maîtrise de la langue et du vers.
