Aesop’s Fables: A New Revised Edition

Description

As children, we’ve all heard of tales such as The Ant and the Grasshopper, The Boy Who Cried Wolf and many other stories designed to exemplify an important life lesson and teach children right from wrong in a simple and enjoyable manner. All these tales, or fables, as they are more commonly known, were passed down from generation to generation, and some are far older than you might imagine.

These stories are attributed to an ancient storyteller known as Aesop, who lived more than 2,500 years ago, and was the first Ancient Greek fabulist who gathered such an impressive number of stories, and organized them as part of his own collection. Although it isn’t known whether Aesop and his original works truly existed or not, subsequent records from other notable authors such as Aristotle and Herodotus paint a picture of Aesop as the Ancient Greek slave who admirably won his freedom through sheer cleverness, and became adviser to the most prominent leaders of the time.

Aesop’s Fables, A New Revised Edition is a collection of 284 fables originating from Aesop’s work, which were thoroughly revised and newly translated to convey the messages and wisdom of the original fables as faithfully as possible.

These short tales carry significant weight when it comes to the remarkable value of the morals and truisms they convey in such a simple and straightforward fashion.

Children will love the tales due to their simplicity, and will be able to learn all about the most important life lessons that are expressed through them. Also, anyone interested in succeeding with their business, understanding the deeper truths of life – such as why sometimes bad things happen to good people – or exploring the most obscure and abstract philosophical ideas that were ever conceived, you can definitely find more clarity and understanding by reading a few of these exceptional fables.
