Eric Kincaid Libri

Poesia e prosa strettamente legate in uno dei libri più significativi del 19° secolo, che celebrava il colonialismo inglese e inaugurava il mito del buon selvaggio. Nello sgretolarsi di certezze e ideali dell’epoca vittoriana ormai al termine, Kipling, primo premio Nobel inglese, rilanciava invece i valori del patriottismo e connotava la giungla indiana, le sue leggi e gli animali di positività, di forza mascolina e di coraggio, scrivendo l’affascinante storia del bambino-lupo più famoso della letteratura.

Sardonic, wry and wise, Aesop�s Fables are some of the most enduring and well-loved literary creations in history. In a series of pithy, amusing vignettes, Aesop created a vivid cast of characters to demonstrate different aspects of human nature.

Each jewel-like fable provides a warning about the consequences of wrong-doing, as well as offering a glimpse into the everyday lives of Ancient Greeks.
