Fabeln von Abraham Emanuel Fröhlich
No full textThis is a facsimile of the 1829 second edition by Sauerländer in Aarau. Then the illustrations were published separately and in larger format. Fröhlich was an enlightened Swiss pastor who was passed over for positions and took his revenge on society with his satires and fables. Those that I read through here were sometimes poetic. The first fable after a prologue-fable has a tree proclaiming to a gravestone that it, the tree, is a living word of God. Others are good critiques of social mores. I enjoyed particularly the fables with the nine fold-out illustrations from Disteli. The latter are delightful, a kind of mix between Grandville and Caldecott. They mock the faculty that sets up an institute: monkey, dog, and parrot. After a lamb is stolen, a fox investigates, sees a pawprint like his own, and swishes his tail over it. A lamb is elected to the legislature and bought off with a bag of grain. A piece of rotten wood will not burn and is proclaimed miraculous by monkey religious: Faules Holz steht weit und breit/im Geruch der Heiligkeit (142). A monkey is chagrined at his face in a well and says You puddle, you're there simply to make fun of me. His likeness complains in just the same way: neither gets to drink. There are about 170 fables here, as the closing T of C shows. Very few are longer than a page. This is a lovely little book!Language note: German#429 of 1000Abraham Emanuel Fröhlic
