Résumé

"James Thurber was a comedic genius. His fables are not simply parodies of Aesop. They are wry, accurate, and powerful reflections of ourselves, our foibles, our follies, and, above all, our self-importance. And they are very, very funny." --Neil GaimanJames Thurber has been called "one of the world's greatest humorists" by Alistair Cooke (The Atlantic), and "one of our great American institutions" (Stanley Walker)-and few works reveal Thurber's genius as powerfully as his fables.
Perennially entertaining and astutely satirical, Thurber pinpricks the idiosyncrasies of life with verbal frivolity, hilarious insights, political shrewdness, and, of course, quirky, quotable morals. Now, readers can savor 85 fables by the twentieth century's preeminent humorist collected for the first time in a single anthology. Here, Fables for Our Time, Further Fables for Our Time, and ten previously uncollected fables-illustrated by ten contemporary artists including Seymour Chwast, Mark Ulriksen, Laurie Rosenwald, and R.
O. Blechman-are presented in Collected Fables, a must-have for readers of all ages.
