Features: Fable is one of the oldest literary forms in our world. This book follows four master fable writers—Aesop, La Fontaine, Lessing, and Krylov—as a thread, outlining the development of world fables and composing a beautiful symphony titled "A Quartet of Wisdom." At the same time, it allows readers to understand the historical context, personal lives, and creative overviews of these fable writers, as well as the intellectual and wisdom heights achieved in their fable works. Of course, it also explores their shared fate. Fables are the stars that illuminate the long night humanity has endured. Fables are the thunderous lightning in the sky, the flowers of human thought and wisdom. Fables will always embody justice, wisdom, kindness, and beauty.
