"... The world that we find in the fable is in some way a pure mirror, which reflects the human world. ”So at the beginning of the 19th century, Vasily Zhukovsky described the fable.
The fable gives extraordinary pleasure to readers of any age. Not surprising, because it goes back to the wonderful legends of primitive times, unusually popular in cultures of various nations.
The greatest fabric of antiquity was the Greek Aesop (c. 600s BC) From the Greeks, the fables switched to the peoples of Europe and Asia, translated and remade in all languages, until in Russia this genre was brought to brilliant perfection Ivan Krylov (1769-1844)
Morality, which receives an attractive character through the fable, is the main property of this "pure mirror", which helps a person look at his imperfections.
