J. J. Grandville Libri

La Fontaine rinnova un genere letterario che ha lontanissimi e molto autorevoli esponenti. Con grazia, intelligenza e sensibilità ironizza sui piccoli grandi difetti dell'umanità e sulla vita e la società della sua epoca. Questa edizione, illustrata da 156 incisioni di Grandville, è preceduta dall'introduzione di Georges Couton, apparsa nell'edizione francese dei Classiques Garnier, che aiuta a comprendere a fondo l'opera e l'arte di La Fontaine, i suoi rapporti con la società e la letteratura contemporanea e la sua collocazione in una tradizione di grande prestigio.

A reproduction of Grandville's original steel engravings from the last of the artist's illustrated books represents a collection of floral tableaux evocative of the sentimental spirit of nineteenth-century French Romanticism
