Fables de La Fontaine, livre 12

by Jean de La Fontaine

The twelfth and final book of Jean de La Fontaine's fables is a collection of 27 verse tales that explore human nature and society. With their witty observations and memorable characters, these fables offer a timeless commentary on the follies and virtues of humanity. Despite being longer and more didactic than La Fontaine's earlier works, this collection is no less incisive or entertaining, and it stands as a testament to the enduring power of his storytelling.
