Natural Stories - Jules Renard

Discover Bookster, the first single-page book that will make you rediscover the great classics of literature! Have you ever seen someone prouder than a rooster, more stupid than a donkey, more dumb than a carp? From rhymes to metaphors, from allegories to witticisms, you will find in Histoires Naturelles the style specific to Jules Renard: his respect for detail and his obsession with finding the right expression. By turns stupid, vain, or full of themselves, the familiar animals take on a completely unexpected appearance in these joyful portraits. Renard's 'Natural Stories' are to the 19th century what La Fontaine's 'Fables' were to the 17th century: a surprising bestiary... of humanity! With a style imbued with freshness such as colorful collages, this Bookster will find its perfect place in a child's bedroom.
