«Llibre de les bèsties» is the allegorical novel by Ramon Llull, published by Barcanova in paperback (157 pages, in Catalan).
In this medieval tale, animals symbolically reflect human behaviour. After the lion is named king, the cunning fox Na Renard weaves a web of intrigues to seize power. The whole is presented as a moral satire sprinkled with brief fables that extend the critique of the court and politics.
Edition by Montserrat Vallès in the Biblioteca Didàctica de Literatura Catalana collection. The original work dates from 1288.

Ramon Llull, sometimes anglicized as Raymond Lully, was a Catholic philosopher, theologian, poet, missionary, apologist and former knight, born in Palma de Mallorca. He invented a philosophical system known as the Art, conceived as a type of universal logic to prove the truth of Christian doctrine to interlocutors of all faiths and nationalities. The Art consists of a set of general principles and combinatorial operations. It is illustrated with diagrams.
