《伊索寓言》收集了两百多篇故事。大多是用拟人化的手法,描绘生活中每日可见的性格各异、生活习性千差万别的飞禽走兽,对照人世间不同阶层、不同出身地位形形色色迥然不同的人和事。以揭示人间的真、善、美、假、恶、丑。因此,《伊索寓言》就不仅仅是一部了不起的文学著作而流传于世。更是以它的发人深思、令人醒悟的比喻,富有哲理的寓意而对整个世界具有深刻的影响了。本书为中文导读英文版,帮助读者了解名著的同时提高英语水平。
《伊索寓言》是世界上最古老、最伟大的寓言故事集,被誉为西方寓言的始祖,主要是由古希腊人伊索创作和收集整理而成。它对人类文化影响深远,堪称人类文明史上的一座丰碑。在西方人眼中,它的重要性甚至被认为仅次于《圣经》。“龟兔赛跑”、“狼来了”、“农夫和蛇”、“吃不到葡萄就说葡萄酸”和“乌鸦喝水”等脍炙人口的故事伴随了一代又一代人的美丽童年、少年直至成年。无论作为语言学习的课本,还是作为通俗的文学读本,本书对当代中国的青少年学生都将产生积极的影响。为了使读者能够了解英文故事概况,进而提高阅读速度和阅读水平,在每篇英文传说故事的开始部分增加了中文导读。
