Description:
Softcover/Paperback. Fair. Басни Крылова. Они уже столетия как раздерганы на цитаты и афоризмы, многие фразы из них стали пословицами и поговорками, — "рыльце в пуху", "а Васька слушает, да ест", "а ларчик просто открывался". Мы давно уже произносим "слон и Моська", "Тришкин кафтан" или "Демьянова уха", даже не задумываясь о литературном первоисточнике этих крылатых выражений, — а ведь все они появились на свет благодаря замечательному остроумию Крылова — величайшего из русских баснописцев.

Krylov was Russia's best-known fabulist and probably the most epigrammatic of all Russian authors. Formerly a dramatist and journalist, he only discovered his true genre at the age of 40. While many of his earlier fables were loosely based on Aesop's and La Fontaine's, later fables were original work, often with a satirical bent. This is a collection of his works for school use in Russian. A clean presentable copy.
