Fables is a thought-provoking collection of allegorical stories that delve into the intricacies of human behavior and moral dilemmas. Through a series of imaginative and often paradoxical narratives, the book presents situations where characters face ethical conflicts, illuminating deeper truths about virtues, vices, and societal expectations.

With its rich use of irony and a tone that oscillates between humorous and profound, the collection transforms everyday dilemmas into timeless lessons. Though brief in form, these stories leave a lasting impact, offering wisdom wrapped in storytelling that is both entertaining and insightful. The work remains relevant for its universal messages and its unique approach to ethical exploration.
