Le favole di La Fontaine

A collection of 34 fables by Jean de La Fontaine: featuring his most famous masterpieces - to be rediscovered in their full, original versions through the expert translation of Luca Pietromarchi - alongside lesser-known gems that are equally clever, cheeky, and genuine. Marc Boutavant’s illustrations bring a fresh energy to La Fontaine’s stories, balanced with a touch of sweetness. Whether they are overbearing, funny, or in trouble, the Fox, the Raven, the Lion, and a host of other animals showcase their iconic personalities, creating a "human zoo" in which readers of all ages have seen their own reflection for centuries.
