La Fontaine
100 tales
Jean de La Fontaine (1621–1695) was a French poet whose Fables, published in 12 books between 1668 and 1694, are among the most celebrated works in French literature. Drawing on Aesop and Phaedrus, La Fontaine's 240 fables use animals to explore human nature, morality, and society with wit and elegance. Stories like The Cicada and the Ant and The Fox and the Crow have been staples of French education and culture for centuries.
