Stevenson, R. L. (Robert Louis)
Fables
Transcribed from the 1901 Longmans, Green & Co. edition by David Price
"Fables" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a collection of allegorical tales written in the late 19th century. The book explores moral lessons and human experiences through a series of whimsical narratives, each featuring unique characters and situations that reflect on virtues and vices. Its likely topic centers around the complexities of morality and the human condition, utilizing imaginative scenarios to communicate profound truths. In this collection, each fable presents a distinct story, often framed within dialogues or interactions between anthropomorphic characters. For instance, tales like "The Sick Man and the Fireman" and "The Devil and the Innkeeper" explore themes of selfishness, duty, and the nature of evil. The characters engage in witty banter and paradoxical situations that highlight their traits, ultimately leading to humorous and thoughtful conclusions. Stevenson’s use of irony and satire invites readers to reflect on social conventions and personal choices, making the fables both entertaining and enlightening. Each story culminates in a moral, adeptly reflecting the intricacies of human behavior and ethics, making it a timeless work of literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
