Synopsis
Excerpt from The Library of Wit and Humor, Prose and Poetry, Selected From the Literature of All Times and Nations, Vol. 4
This is, however, no place for entering upon the criticism of a poem like the Reynard of Goethe. Which was published in 1793, while the French Revolution was at its height, a biting commentary on that fearful time. Books of such significance descend into the depths of the soul without the dead weight of the critic's laudation being attached to them.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a satirical epic poem originally written in German, follows the cunning Reynard, a fox who uses his wiles to outwit his adversaries and rise through the ranks of society. The author explores the themes of ambition, deception, and the corrupting influence of power through Reynard's interactions with other animals, such as the proud lion king, Noble, and the vengeful wolf, Isegrim. The author cleverly uses these anthropomorphic characters to reflect the human condition, exposing the flaws and foibles of society. This timeless tale, written in the 13th century, remains relevant today, offering insights into the complexities of human nature and the nature of power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
