Über diesen Titel

Dive into the enchanting world of the Fables of Pilpay, a collection of timeless moral tales that trace their origins back to the ancient Sanskrit text, Panchatantra (200 BC – 300 AD). These captivating stories were first translated into Arabic by the Persian scholar Ruzbeh, who titled it the Book of Kalilah and Dimna. Subsequent translations by Abdullah Ibn al-Muqaffa and Joseph Harris in 1679, followed by a reimagining in 1818, have kept these fables alive through the centuries. Notably, Max Mueller highlighted La Fontaines indebtedness to this work, while other scholars recognize the influence of the fables on Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont and John Fletcher. Each fable intricately weaves together lessons on human virtues and vices, often through the lens of anthropomorphized animals, making them both entertaining and thought-provoking.
