Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Krylov's Fables (Classics of Russian literature)
Крылов считал, что басня, как и всякое произведение искусства, должна быть проста и понятна: "А ларчик просто открывался!". Вот такими "ларчиками" с сокровищами народной мудрости и были его произведения. Многие выражения из написанных из 200 басен стали крылатыми, превратились в пословицы и поговорки. Пушкин считал, что басенному творчеству Крылова присуще "весёлое лукавство", характерное для русского склада ума. А после его смерти в 1844 году другой великий писатель, Николай Васильевич Гоголь, сказал о нём так: "Его притчи - достояние народное и составляют книгу мудрости самого народа".Itemize Books Concering Krylov's Fables (Classics of Russian literature)

Gave up. Will try it again one day.Mostly predictable and unimaginative fables. I thought they would have a Russian flavor--but they don't particularly. A few were noteworthy:"A Little Box" (p. 30)-much like Wittgenstein's metaphor of solving a philosophical problem with a move that seems obvious in retrospect."The Sightseer" (p. 132)-apparently the origin of the "elephant in the room"."The Author and the Robber" (p. 194)-a sort of appreciation of the intellect, along the lines of "the pen is mightier than the sword," in which a
Рассказы не интересные и нудные; хотя почти все рекомендуют. Для маленьких детей я понимаю. Они поучительные и многие про животных, и это их интересует. Для старших, совершенна не рекомендую, особенно когда ваша учительница заставляла их учить.
Ivan Andreyevich Krylov (Russian: Иван Андреевич Крылов) is Russia's best known fabulist. While many of his earlier fables were loosely based on Aesop's and La Fontaine's, later fables were original work, often satirizing the incompetent bureaucracy that was stifling social progress in his time.Life.Ivan Krylov was born in Moscow, but spent his early years in Orenburg and Tver. His father, aI recently read Being There, where the Russian ambassador asks Chance if he has read Kriloff. "There is something Krilovian about you." Chance nods and smiles, as he can neither read nor write, but the ambassador files a report that the mystery man is conversant in Russian, and well read in the Russian classics.There is something Krilovian about that, too.My rating is for the version here, in English verse, which must have some flavor of the original, (I can't judge on that), but is rather
I read the fable about the swan, pike and crayfish in class. A nice poem with a lesson to boot, it encompasses that being able to an agreement in business is a highlight in all cultures, and that communication is the key. It rhymes really well in Russian and the translation is O.K but the flow and rhyme is lost, so I could not read it as fast. Thats why I am giving it a 4.
This book brings to American children, and adults, the first verse translations of 15 traditional fables. The animals in the fables are timeless in their wit and mischief.
