This eBook was produced by David Widger "Tales and Novels of J. de La Fontaine — Volume 22" by Jean de La Fontaine is a collection of tales written during the 17th century, reflecting the literary style of the French classical period. This volume presents a series of fables and stories that explore themes of human behavior, social norms, and morality, often with a humorous twist. La Fontaine's works are known for their insightful commentary on society, using animals and other characters to illustrate various moral lessons. The book features three distinct tales: "The Picture," "The Pack-Saddle," and "The Ear-maker and The Mould-Mender." In "The Picture," two nuns, eager for romantic entertainment, devise a plan that unexpectedly leads to chaotic yet amusing consequences. "The Pack-Saddle" tells a story of a jealous painter whose insecurities about his wife's fidelity lead to absurd situations, showcasing the folly of jealousy. Lastly, "The Ear-maker and The Mould-Mender" explores themes of deception and revenge, where a husband, suspicious of his wife's neighbor, concocts a clever plot for retribution when he learns of the neighbor's advances. Throughout these tales, La Fontaine expertly weaves wit and wisdom, providing both entertainment and moral insight.
