Book Description:
Voici le douzième et dernier livre des fables de Jean de La Fontaine. Il est, avec le livre huitième, le plus volumineux, comptant 27 fables . Contrairement à ses premiers livres dont les textes sont courts et vifs, ceux de ce dernier livre sont longs et parfois lourds. On sent que le fabuliste désire passer plusieurs messages aux lecteurs, au premier chef, à l'élite sociale et politique de son milieu. Les animaux continuent de tenir la vedette de ces vers où s'épanouissent les travers des hommes.
