Fable is a literary genre a succinct fictional story, in prose or verse, that features animals, legendary creatures, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature that are anthropomorphized given human qualities, such as the ability to speak human language and that illustrates or leads to a particular moral lesson a moral, which may at the end be added explicitly as a pithy maxim. A fable differs from a parable in that the latter excludes animals, plants, inanimate objects, and forces of nature as actors that assume speech or other powers of humankind. Usage has not always been so clearly distinguished. In the King James Version of the New Testament, mythos was rendered by the translators as fable1 in the First Epistle to Timothy, the Second Epistle to Timothy, the Epistle to Titus and the First Epistle of Peter. A person who writes fables is a fabulist. HistoryeditThe fable is one of the most enduring forms of folk literature, spread abroad, modern researchers agree,3 less by literary anthologies than by oral transmission. Fables can be found in the literature of almost every country. Aesopic or Aesops fableeditThe varying corpus denoted Aesopica or Aesops Fables includes most of the best known western fables, which are attributed to the legendary. Aesop, supposed to have been a slave in ancient Greece around 5. BC. When Babrius set down fables from the Aesopica in verse for a Hellenistic Prince Alexander, he expressly stated at the head of Book II that this type of myth that Aesop had introduced to the sons of the Hellenes had been an invention of Syrians from the time of Ninos personifying Nineveh to Greeks and Belos ruler. Epicharmus of Kos and Phormis are reported as having been among the first to invent comic fables. Many familiar fables of Aesop include The Crow and the Pitcher, The Tortoise and the Hare and The Lion and the Mouse. In ancient Greek and Roman education, the fable was the first of the progymnasmatatraining exercises in prose composition and public speakingwherein students would be asked to learn fables, expand upon them, invent their own, and finally use them as persuasive examples in longer forensic or deliberative speeches. The need of instructors to teach, and students to learn, a wide range of fables as material for their declamations resulted in their being gathered together in collections, like those of Aesop. African oral culture6 has a rich story telling tradition. As they have for thousands of years, people of all ages in Africa continue to interact with nature, including plants, animals and earthly structures such as rivers, plains and mountains. Grandparents enjoy enormous respect in African societies and fill the new role of story telling during retirement years. Children and, to some extent, adults are mesmerized by good story tellers when they become animated in their quest to tell a good fable. Joel Chandler Harris wrote African American fables in the Southern context of slavery under the name of Uncle Remus. His stories of the animal characters Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Bear are modern examples of African American story telling that transcends critiques and controversies as to whether or not Uncle Remus was a racist or apologist for slavery. The Disney movie Song of the South introduced many of the stories to the public and others not familiar with the role that story telling played in the life of cultures and groups without training in speaking, reading, writing, or the cultures to which they had been relocated to from world practices of capturing Africans and other indigenous populations to provide slave labor to colonized countries. India has a rich tradition of fabulous novels, mostly explainable by the fact that the culture derives traditions and learns qualities from natural elements. Most of the gods are some form of animals with ideal qualities. Also hundreds of fables were composed in ancient India during the first millennium BC, often as stories withinframe stories. Indian fables have a mixed cast of humans and animals. The dialogues are often longer than in fables of Aesop and often witty as the animals try to outwit one another by trickery and deceit. In Indian fables, man is not superior to the animals. The tales are often comical. The Indian fable adhered to the universally known traditions of the fable. The best examples of the fable in India are the Panchatantra and the Jataka tales. These included Vishnu Sarmas Panchatantra, the Hitopadesha, Vikram and The Vampire, and Syntipas Seven Wise Masters, which were collections of fables that were later influential throughout the Old World. Ben E. Perry compiler of the Perry Index of Aesops fables has argued controversially that some of the Buddhist Jataka tales and some of the fables in the Panchatantra may have been influenced by similar Greek and Near Eastern ones. Earlier Indian epics such as Vyasas. Mahabharata and Valmikis Ramayana also contained fables within the main story, often as side stories or back story. The most famous folk stories from the Near East were the One Thousand and One Nights, also known as the Arabian Nights. Fables had a further long tradition through the Middle Ages, and became part of European high literature. During the 1. 7th century, the French fabulist Jean de La Fontaine 1. Starting with the Aesopian pattern, La Fontaine set out to satirize the court, the church, the rising bourgeoisie, indeed the entire human scene of his time. La Fontaines model was subsequently emulated by Englands John Gay 1. Polands Ignacy Krasicki 1. Italys Lorenzo Pignotti 1. Giovanni Gherardo de Rossi 1. Serbias Dositej Obradovi 1. Spains Flix Mara de Samaniego 1. Toms de Iriarte y Oropesa 1. Frances Jean Pierre Claris de Florian 1. Russias Ivan Krylov 1. Modern eraeditIn modern times, while the fable has been trivialized in childrens books, it has also been fully adapted to modern adult literature. Felix Saltens Bambi 1. Bildungsroman a story of a protagonists coming of age cast in the form of a fable. James Thurber used the ancient fable style in his books Fables for Our Time 1. Further Fables for Our Time 1. The Princess and the Tin Box in The Beast in Me and Other Animals 1. The Last Clock A Fable for the Time, Such As It Is, of Man in Lanterns and Lances 1. Wadysaw Reymonts The Revolt 1. Bolshevik. Revolution of 1. George Orwells Animal Farm 1. Stalinist Communism in particular, and totalitarianism in general, in the guise of animal fable. In the 2. 1st century the Neapolitan writer Sabatino Scia is the author of more than two hundred fables that he describes as western protest fables. The characters are not only animals, but also things, beings and elements from nature. Scias aim is the same as in the traditional fable, playing the role of revealer of human society. In Latin America, the brothers Juan and Victor Ataucuri Garcia have contributed to the resurgence of the fable. But they do so with a novel idea use the fable as a means of dissemination of traditional literature of that place. In the book Fbulas Peruanas published in 2. Andean and Amazonian Peru, to write as fables. The result has been an extraordinary work rich in regional nuances. Here we discover the relationship between man and his origin, with nature, with its history, its customs and beliefs then become norms and values.
