قرأت طبعة مكتبة (مصر) التي ترجمها د. مصطفى السقا وسعيد جودة السحار عن ترجمة (تاونْسِنْد) الإنجليزية. اشتريت الكتاب جديدا من معرض الكتاب بالقاهرة - في عام 2010 - بمئة وستين قرشا بعد الخصم! ووجدت فيه أكثر من ثلاثمائة حكاية كان معظمها فائق الإمتاع والعمق، بلا تكلف. والكتاب مزين برسوم قديمة محببة. الخلاصة أنني سأدعو للقائمين على مكتبة (مصر) حتى تُمحى آخر حكاية من حكايات إيسوب - حكيم اليونان - من ذاكرتي، ولست أظنه ممكنا!

I was looking at a list of 1001 Books You must read Before You Die, and thought I'd like to reread this collection. I'd completely forgotten The Fox and The Grapes. Interesting how these archetypes have permeated Western culture.

It's amazing to me how many of these fables are still in the collective consciousness after so many centuries, especially the pithy ending sentences.
It's also fun to note how many of the stories are contradictory. ...more

One value that Aesop sure did not embrace was creativity. This man was against or maybe even afraid of changes.
