El nombre de Esopo se utiliza para abarcar una larga tradición de fábulas que configuran de algún modo el origen del imaginario moral de la cultura europea. El presente volumen recoge todas las fábulas de tradición esópica que, aunque variada procedencia, fueron concebidas en griego. Protagonizados generalmente por animales, estos pequeños y memorables cuentos -que Sócrates se sabía de memoria- nos muestran, hoy como ayer, las tensiones, las miserias, el esplendor, la felicidad y el miedo del alma humana.

"The Fox and the Grapes", "The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg", "The Hare and the Tortoise" and "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse" are among these more than 50 selections that abound in manners and morals.
