Aesop was probably a prisoner of war, sold into slavery in the early sixth century BC, who represented his masters in court and negotiations, and relied on animal stories to put across his key points. All these fables, full of humour, insight and savage wit, as well as many fascinating glimpses of ordinary life, have now been brought together for the first time in this definitive and fully annotated modern edition.

'I am Shaddad the Great. I conquered a thousand cities; a thousand white elephants were collected for me; I lived for a thousand years and my kingdom covered both east and west, but when death came to me nothing of all that I had gathered was of any avail. You who see me take heed- for Time is not to be trusted' Discovered in a single, ragged manuscript in a library in Istanbul, this is the earliest collection of Arabic stories, most of which have never been read in English before. Containing terrifying monsters, lost princes, jewels beyond price, sword-wielding statues, magical transformations and shocking reversals of fortune, these evocative medieval tales combine courtly romance, bawdy comedy and fantastical adventure. 'Superb, a revelation - a real classic of popular literature . . . endlessly diverting and inventive, a unique insight into a now-lost elegant, courtly and tolerant Arab world.' William Dalrymple, Sunday Times'Offers a gateway to a different world of language and ideas, a powerful reminder of the human need for story . . . irresistible.' IndependentTranslated by Malcolm C. Lyons With an introduction by Robert Irwin

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.

Aesop embodies an epigram not uncommon in human history; his fame is all the more deserved because he never deserved it. The firm foundations of common sense, the shrewd shots at uncommon sense, that characterise all the Fables, belong not him but to humanity. In the earliest human history whatever is authentic is universal: and whatever is universal is anonymous. In such cases there is always some central man who had first the trouble of collecting them, and afterwards the fame of creating them. He had the fame; and, on the whole, he earned the fame. There must have been something great and human, something of the human future and the human past, in such a man: even if he only used it to rob the past or deceive the future.
