Author:Aesop,Robert Temple,Robert Temple,Olivia Temple
Aesop was probably a prisoner of war, sold into slavery in the early sixth century BC, who represented his masters in court and negotiations, and relied on animal stories to put across his key points. All these fables, full of humour, insight and savage wit, as well as many fascinating glimpses of ordinary life, have now been brought together for the first time in this definitive and fully annotated modern edition.
A subtle unfolding of character and history camouflaged in battle-dress-an absorbing portrait of lives lived at the edges of terror and beauty. Koch is a powerful writer and this is a fine book
—— Erica Wagner , The TimesA gripping tale, a convincing, page turning evocation of recent history, full of compelling characters, tumultuous events and just plain excitement
—— Richard Bernstein , New York TimesMagnificent-in its humanity and honesty, and the maturity of its storytelling, it belongs with the finest products of that sad and wasteful history
—— Michael Hulse , Spectator[A] big, juicy middle-American apple pie of a book, sometimes tart but mostly sweet
—— Los Angeles TimesGood news for fans of Fried Green Tomatoes... The action does not let up for a minute
—— New York Times Book Review
