«Fables» is a collection of verse fables by Jean de La Fontaine, published by EDDL in paperback, in French.
La Fontaine's fables give voice to animals such as the tortoise, the crow, the hare, the ant or the lion, and also to objects such as the milk jug, to offer small moral lessons in verse. Their blend of irony, musicality and criticism of human customs has made these stories classics that have been recited and studied for centuries.
French edition reproducing the complete text of the fables; La Fontaine's original work dates from 1668.
Suitable for children and adults, and a common reading in schools for those who wish to approach classical French poetry and the tradition of the moral fable.
Sir Ronald Ross was a British medical doctor. He received the 1902 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine "for his work on malaria, by which he has shown how it enters the organism and thereby has laid the foundation for successful research on this disease and methods of combating it". His discovery of the malarial parasite in the gastrointestinal tract of a mosquito in 1897 proved that malaria was transmitted by mosquitoes, and laid the foundation for the method of combating the disease.
