Amoralische Fabeln

by Lisa Wenger & Carl Olof Petersen (Illustrator)

  • First published: Date unknown
  • Language: German

"Amoralische Fabeln" by Lisa Wenger is a collection of fables written in the early 20th century. The book features anthropomorphic animals and explores themes of morality and social behavior in a light-hearted manner. Each fable presents a different scenario, often highlighting the absurdities of societal norms and expectations as the animal characters navigate their lives. The opening of the text introduces several animal characters, beginning with a young sheep eager to discuss the topic of marriage with its mother. Through a dialogue filled with humor and wisdom, the mother sheep educates her child about the unspoken rules surrounding marriage and societal expectations. The narrative then seamlessly transitions to a white mouse who, against its father's prohibitions, explores the world beyond its mundane existence, only to learn valuable lessons about acceptance and self-worth after facing ridicule for a blemish on its fur. This opening sets the tone for a whimsical yet thought-provoking exploration of life and its complexities through the eyes of animals. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
