This 1934 edition of Fables choisies mises en vers by Jean de La Fontaine, published by Société des Belles Lettres, represents a meticulous reissue of the classic 17th-century French fables. Volume I of this two-volume set preserves the original French text, offering readers an opportunity to engage with La Fontaine's work in its authentic linguistic form. The softcover format, with many pages remaining uncut, reflects the traditional publishing practices of the time, inviting readers to partake in the tactile experience of unveiling each fable. The absence of illustrations in this edition places the focus squarely on La Fontaine's poetic craftsmanship, allowing the moral and philosophical nuances of each tale to resonate without visual interpretation
