For th is new edition of these unknown settings the author has written an extensive historical introduction, translated all the texts into English, and provided invaluable suggestions on performance practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Contes et nouvelles en vers of Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695) were published at various times throughout his life, both before and after his celebrated Fables, between 1664 and 1685, and even posthumously. In quite a different key from the more innocent Fables, the Contes often threatened to get him in trouble with both Church and Acadmie. It was, indeed, the bawdy tales of Boccaccio, Rabelais, and other medieval and renaissance masters of ribaldry that inspired La Fontaine's Contes, presented here in a chronologically and stylistically diverse selection translated by Norman R. Shapiro. This spirited recent translation, spanning the entire corpus, offers about half the tales, from early to late, in all their variety of lengths and poetic narrative forms. The mildly suggestive mingle with the frankly bawdy, while others would hardly raise a vicar's eyebrow. Yet all these gems from one of France's truly great poets, scrupulously faithful to the originals, are rendered with the spirit of his style, his subtle rhythms, cadences, rhymes, and delectable wit left intact.

Book excerpt: Avec ses Fables, La Fontaine s'inscrit dans une tradition multiple et universelle : la fable grecque en prose, suivie d'une brève moralité, avec Ésope ; la fable latine, brève, également en prose, avec Phèdre, ainsi que la fable orientale. Chez La Fontaine aussi les animaux discutent de morale, les hommes font les ânes... En apparence, il se place donc dans la lignée de ceux qui voient dans la fable un court récit destiné à enseigner la morale. Et le dédicataire du premier recueil n'est autre que le Grand Dauphin, le fils du roi alors âgé de sept ans ! Mais, sous des airs de récitations enfantines, se cache une peinture critique de la société du Roi-Soleil, qui grâce à son talent devient universelle. Et au-delà des histoires pour enfants sages, on découvre une réflexion profonde sur l'humaine condition.
