伊索（Aesop，约公元前620年－公元前564年）

古希腊传奇作家，被誉为西方寓言之父，生活在公元前六世纪的上半叶。

现今流传于世的伊索寓言，充满了诙谐和风趣。历史上的真实伊索，世人所知甚少，有研究伊索的学者指出，伊索出生于希腊本土色雷斯的梅森布里亚城，并在萨摩斯岛上生活过一段时期，似乎曾因被俘而沦为奴隶。

伊索善于在谈判和交涉中说一些短小的动物故事，而以这类故事机智巧妙地嬴得声誉，在同时代人心目中留下了惊人的深刻印象。

后人将古希腊流传的经典寓言故事编写辑集，统归在伊索名下，便相沿而成为现在的伊索寓言。

This exclusive Signet Classic edition contains 203 of Aesop’s most enduring and popular fables, translated into readable, modern American English and beautifully illustrated with classic woodcuts by the great French artist J. J. Grandville.

It is both amazing and wonderful that so much of the richness of our language and our moral education still owes a huge debt to a Greek slave who was executed more than two thousand years ago. Yet “sour grapes,” “crying ‘wolf,’” “actions speak louder than words,” “honesty is the best policy,” and literally hundreds of other metaphors, axioms, and ideas that are now woven into the very fabric of Western culture all came from Aesop’s Fables. An extraordinary storyteller who used cunning foxes, surly dogs, clever mice, fearsome lions, and foolish humans to describe the reality of a harsh world, Aesop created narratives that are appealing, funny, politically astute, and profoundly true. And Aesop’s truth—often summed up in the pithy “moral of the story”—retains an awesome power to affect us, reaching us through both our intellects and our hearts.

Including:

“The Fox and the Grapes”
“The Ants and the Grasshopper”
“The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse”
…and 200 Other Famous Fables

Edited and with an Afterword by Jack Zipes
