Published in 1901, the deluxe edition of "La Fontaine's Fables Translated by Russian Fabulists" was the first complete collection of the French classic's works in Russian. The texts were accompanied by detailed commentary, including information on the sources of the stories and the names of the translators. The book also included a biography of Jean de La Fontaine and an alphabetical index to all the fables.

La Fontaine masterfully reworked classic stories by Aesop, Phaedrus, and Indian fabulists, creating a unique narrative style. His fables are devoid of straightforward moralizing, yet are full of profound philosophical meaning and subtle satire.

Readers will surely be pleased to know that some of the French poet's stories are already familiar to them, such as the works of the remarkable Russian fabulist I.A. Krylov, "The Dragonfly and the Ant," "The Crow and the Fox," "The Oak and the Cane," "The Picky Bride," and others.
