Le langage secret des fables de La Fontaine

Hervé Priëls reveals the hidden meaning of the fables of La Fontaine: they certainly have a moral theme, and therefore concern man’s social dimension; but these fables also have a spiritual dimension. 22 fables, including the Ant and the Grasshopper, The Crow and the Fox, The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, but also some lesser known examples such as The Man and his image, The cock and the pearl... 22 fables like the 22 major Tarot cards or the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, which the author draws upon to decode their profound message. Symbolic alchemy and the language of birds also influence our reflections.
