From a renowned scholar and translator, the definitive translation of Aesop's Fables
Aesop's fables are among the most familiar and best-loved stories in the world. Tales like "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The Dog in the Manger," and "Sour Grapes" have captivated us for generations. The fables delight us and teach timeless truths. Aesop's tales offer us a world fundamentally simpler to ours---one with clear good and plain evil---but nonetheless one that is marked by political nuance and literary complexity.
Newly translated and annotated by renowned scholar Robin Waterfield, this definitive translation shines a new light on four hundred of Aesop's most enduring fables.
Biography (Aesop)
Aesop lebte nach Angaben Herodots um die Mitte des 6. Jh.v.Chr. auf Samos. Sicheres über die Person Aesop ist nicht bekannt. Es wird vermutet, dass er ein griechischer Sklave war. Er gilt als Begründer der Fabeldichtung. Seine volkstümlichen Fabeln wurden zunächst mündlich überliefert und erst Jahrhunderte später aufgezeichnet. Unter "Aesop'schen Fabeln" versteht man heute eine bestimmte Art der Erzählung über Wahrheitslehren oder moralische Inhalte.Biography (Robin Waterfield)

A freelance writer and translator since the early 1980s, he has published numerous translations of the Greek classics for both the Oxford World's Classics and Penguin Classics. He now lives in the far south of Greece on a small olive farm.
