book review article
Book name: Tales from La Fontaine
İşbank cultural publications 210 page volume
To be honest, I didn't listen to many fairy tales when I was a child.
I don't remember our grandparents.
My father also left the world at an early age.
My mother always worked hard. He didn't have time to create fairy tales.
So, as you can see, I read my own fairy tale myself, after the age of 50.
A fairy tale, but what a tale!...
It's as if the animals agreed among themselves and are teaching us humans a lesson.
A fluent language, cute expressions, and especially charcoal drawings create a harmonious unity.
To say that these tales were written only for children would be unfair to the book and its author, because the main theme in the narratives contains extraordinary social, intellectual and philosophical messages.
Don't be intimidated by the large size and 210 pages of the book; half of it contains pictures and the other pages contain text in half-column poetry format. I was able to read it in one day.
This book has no reading age. Everyone in the family can read.
Good reading
