Aesop's Fables , by Aesop , is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics : New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. As legend has it, the storyteller Aesop was a slave who lived in ancient Greece during the sixth century B.C. His memorable, recountable fables have brought amusing characters to life and driven home thought-provoking morals for generations of listeners and modern-day readers. Translated into countless languages and familiar to people around the world, Aesop’s fables never tarnish despite being told again and again.
This collection presents nearly 300 of Aesop’s most entertaining and enduring stories—from “The Hare and the Tortoise” and “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse” to “The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs” and “The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.” Populated by a colorful array of animal characters who personify every imaginable human type—from fiddling grasshoppers and diligent ants to sly foxes, wicked wolves, brave mice, and grateful lions—these timeless tales are as fresh and relevant today as when they were first created.
Full of humor, insight, and wit, the tales in Aesop’s Fables champion the value of hard work and perseverance, compassion for others, and honesty. They are age-old wisdom in a delicious form, for the consumption of adults and children alike.
D. L. Ashliman , an emeritus professor at the University of Pittsburgh, taught folklore, mythology, German, and comparative literature at that institution for 33 years. He has also served as guest professor at the University of Augsburg in Germany.
伊索(Aesop620--560B·C)在基督诞生前约600年,也就是2500多年前出生在希腊。伊索童年期是一个哑巴,只能发出奇怪的声音,用手势表达他的意思;再加上他长的又矮又丑,邻居都认为他是个疯子。但是他的母亲非常爱他,时常讲故事给他听;他的舅舅恨这个又矮又丑的外甥,常常强迫他在田里做最艰苦的工作。
母亲去世后,伊索跟着曾照料过他的老人,离家到各地去漫游,因此学到了许多有关鸟类、昆虫和动物的故事。他们在一起过了好多年快活的日子。后来,伊索被牧羊人卖了,从此以后伊索就变成一个奴隶。
有一天,伊索梦见了幸运之神和气地向他微笑,并把他的手指放进他的嘴里,放松他的舌头。醒来后,他以外地发现自己已经可以说话了。
大家都喜欢伊索说故事,也都敬佩他过人的聪明。伊索曾经靠机智救朋友和主人的急难;凭机智避免敌人的伤害,解除奴隶的桎梏。据说伊索因得罪特耳菲人而被陷害致死。
伊索并没有写下他的寓言,他完全凭记忆口授。全世界家喻户晓的《伊索寓言》是后人根据拜占庭僧侣普拉努德斯收集的寓言以及陆续发现的古希腊寓言传抄编订的。其中大多以动物为主:有的用豺狼、狮子等比喻人间权贵,揭露其残暴、肆的一面;有的则总结人们的生活经验,教人处世原则。其形式简洁精练,内容隽永深奥含义于浅显生动的语言中,颇耐人寻味。

评分我发现出现最多的动物是狮子,狐狸,其次是人,驴子,公牛,兔子……人啊,无非也是在动物世界里,道理都懂,大家还不都是尔虞我诈,弱肉强食。

我想,我小时候是看过这本书的。可是大部分内容肯定都忘得差不多了。于是,最近我又找到这本书的中英文双语版本,重新再读。 我不知道我还小的时候读这些有趣的小故事是怎样的想法,现在的我读每一个小故事都能让我联想到很多。故事的道理都很浅显,但内涵或许很丰富。 我喜欢...
评分这位宙斯应该没读过冯至的《蛇》:“我的寂寞是一条蛇……它把你的梦境衔了来/像一只绯红的花朵” 故事一般,伊索寓言不乏这种解释动物习性的故事。结尾寓意很特别,“我们执着于事物,后来终为所囚。” 蜗牛:Excuse me ?怪我咯? 蛇:Excuse me ?说好的大魔王呢? 还有一篇...
评分周作人在后记中说,伊索寓言原本仅仅是关于动物的故事,譬喻、教训之类,是后来的添附。但每每读完一篇,总觉得故事索然无味、甚至有些不知所云(可能是所知太少,对古希腊的譬喻风俗了解不够)。而故事末尾的批语,反倒让人拍案叫绝。 六十六、(请求国王的)蛙【p.30】 蛙因...
评分伊索是古希腊的智者,他将他所有的智慧都包括在他的故事中,为了使我们这群愚者容易理解,他还不辞辛劳,在每次故事的结尾加上了自己的注解,然而就是这故事最后的注解,成了开平之雀的尾巴,受到无数读者以及评论家的贬斥。 然而,这真的是人人唾弃的糟粕吗? 将时间的齿轮...
评分我们小时候听过的好多故事在《伊索寓言》里面都能找到原型。很多人都在改写扩写,其实原作是很短小的,一两百字就一段,颇似中国古代的笔记小说。我猜想大概原因和中国古代是一样的,没有纸张,书写费力,还是精炼短小较为省力。虽然“寓言”二字从《庄子》直接拿来有译者偷懒...
