作品简介

Aesop's celebrated collection of fables has always been popular with both adults and children. These simple tales embody truths so powerful, the titles of the individual fables - the fox and the grapes, the dog in the manger, the wolf in sheep's clothing and many others - have entered the languages and idioms of most European tongues. This edition is beautifully illustrated in black and white by the great Arthur Rackham, and has an introduction by G.K. Chesterton.

《伊索寓言》是世界上最早的寓言故事集,也是流传最广、中国读者最熟悉的寓言故事,反映了作者所生活的国家和土地上大多数人的精神面貌,歌颂了真善美,鞭挞了假恶丑,向读者传授了生活的真谛,具有深刻的现实意义,无论就其思想性还是艺术性来说,它们对后世寓言发展的影响是非常巨大的。今天,伊索寓言已经家喻户晓,常被用来阐述人生道理,不仅深受广大少年儿童的喜爱,也是成年人茶余饭后阅读的有益读物。

伊索(Aesop620--560B·C)在基督诞生前约600年,也就是2500多年前出生在希腊。伊索童年期是一个哑巴,只能发出奇怪的声音,用手势表达他的意思;再加上他长的又矮又丑,邻居都认为他是个疯子。但是他的母亲非常爱他,时常讲故事给他听;他的舅舅恨这个又矮又丑的外甥,常常强迫他在田里做最艰苦的工作。

母亲去世后,伊索跟着曾照料过他的老人,离家到各地去漫游,因此学到了许多有关鸟类、昆虫和动物的故事。他们在一起过了好多年快活的日子。后来,伊索被牧羊人卖了,从此以后伊索就变成一个奴隶。

有一天,伊索梦见了幸运之神和气地向他微笑,并把他的手指放进他的嘴里,放松他的舌头。醒来后,他以外地发现自己已经可以说话了。

大家都喜欢伊索说故事,也都敬佩他过人的聪明。伊索曾经靠机智救朋友和主人的急难;凭机智避免敌人的伤害,解除奴隶的桎梏。据说伊索因得罪特耳菲人而被陷害致死。

伊索并没有写下他的寓言,他完全凭记忆口授。全世界家喻户晓的《伊索寓言》是后人根据拜占庭僧侣普拉努德斯收集的寓言以及陆续发现的古希腊寓言传抄编订的。其中大多以动物为主:有的用豺狼、狮子等比喻人间权贵,揭露其残暴、肆的一面;有的则总结人们的生活经验,教人处世原则。其形式简洁精练,内容隽永深奥含义于浅显生动的语言中,颇耐人寻味。
