Un panal de rica miel: Antología de fábulas (Adarga)
Félix María de Samaniego, autor de las fábulas de este libro, es un clásico de la literatura española del siglo XVIII. Desde entonces, sucesivas generaciones de lectores han disfrutado de sus particulares enseñanzas disfrazadas de sabias anécdotas protagonizadas, principalmente, por animales. En estas sencillas historias recogidas en la antología preparada por M.ª Victoria Sotomayor, profesora de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid y especialista en Literatura infantil y juvenil, se habla de tolerancia, trabajo, prudencia, astucia o generosidad y se critican, entre otras cosas, la avaricia, la vanidad, el abuso de los poderosos, el egoísmo y la ingratitud. Las bellas y detalladas ilustraciones de Iban Barrenetxea recrean un original teatro poblado de extravagantes personajes, aportando una lúcida y moderna visión a estas narraciones imperecederas. ¡Una vuelta a la tierna infancia con unas sugerentes fábulas!

About the author
Félix María de Samaniego
97 books8 followersFélix María Serafín Sánchez de Samaniego y Zabala (October 12, 1745 – August 11, 1801), born and died in Laguardia, Álava, in the Basque Country, was a Spanish neoclassical fabulist, educated at Valladolid. A government appointment was secured for him by his uncle the Count de Peñaflorida.
His Fábulas (1781–1784), one hundred and fifty-seven in number, were originally written for the boys educated in the school founded by the Biscayan Society. In the first installment of his fables he admitted that he had taken Tomás Iriarte for his model, a statement which proves that he had read Iriarte's fables in manuscript; he appears, however, to have resented their publication in 1782, and this led to a rancorous controversy between the former friends. Samaniego, however, was highly original in the matters of quiet humour and careless grace, and his popularity kept on growing.
