Phaedri, Augusti Liberti, Fabularum Aesopicarum Libri Quinque (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book comprises 95 fables by Aesop. They are translated to Latin by Phaedrus, a freedman of the court of Emperor Augustus. The fables' original Greek versions were lost to time, so Phaedrus's Latin variants became the popular versions of the stories enduring through the ages. These tales are written in iambic senarius, a metrical form commonly used in Latin verse. In his telling, Phaedrus maintains the wit and charm of Aesop's fables yet adds his own unique voice by setting some of them during the reign of Augustus and even inserting himself as a character in a few tales. The fables are entertaining and full of wisdom and morality. They touch on universal human themes, such as the dangers of greed, the importance of hard work, and the consequences of pride. Phaedrus's fables have been enjoyed by readers for centuries and continue to be a valuable source of wisdom and entertainment today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780366794539_0
