Fábulas de Esopo

Vicens Vives Primaria S.a., 2004 - 127 páginas
La cultura griega se caracteriza por ser racional, didáctica y forjadora de valores. Tales rasgos resultaron ser tan potentes que se traspasaron a todos los rincones del mundo helénico; así nació la fábula, relato de animales y/o personas cuyos actos encierran razonamientos y generan enseñanzas. En este hermoso libro se han seleccionado sesenta fábulas de Esopo, un género y un autor imitados sin cesar. Su permanente popularidad no es de extrañar, pues cada relato nos depara una sinfín de sorpresas: un molinero y su hijo deciden llevar a un burro a cuestas, un lobo se disfraza con una piel de oveja, una oca pone huevos de oro, una tortuga vence a una liebre en una carreraày mucho, mucho más.
