书籍简介

柯林斯公司推出其新系列的受欢迎的基本经典作品。

伊索寓言大多是动物故事，其中的一部分如《狼和小羊》《狮子与野驴》等，用豺狼、狮子等凶恶的动物比喻人间的权贵，揭露他们的专横、残暴、虐害弱小，反映了平民或奴隶的思想感情；《乌龟与兔》《牧人与野山羊》等，则总结了人们的生活经验，教人处世和做人的道理。

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

'It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.'

Living in Ancient Greece in the 5th Century BC, Aesop was said to be a slave and story-teller. His much-loved, enduring fables are revered the world over and remain popular as moral tales for children. With infamous vignettes, such as the race between the hare and the tortoise, the vain jackdaw, and the wolf in sheep's clothing, the themes of the fables remain as fresh today as when they were first told and give an insight into the Ancient Greek world.

作者简介

伊索，公元前6世纪希腊寓言家，弗里吉亚人。据历史学家记载，他原是萨摩斯岛雅德蒙家的奴隶，曾被转卖多次，但因富有智慧，聪颖过人，然后获得自由。成为自由人后，他经常出入吕底亚国王克洛伊索斯的宫廷。《伊索寓言》归于他的名下。

Aesop (620-564 BC) was an ancient Greek story teller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as 'Aesop's Fables', though no actual writings by him survive. Many of Aesop's fables are characterised by anthropomorphic animals that speak and solve problems and end with important morals for the education of children and society at large.
