Book Overview

Fables And Dialogues Of The Dead is a collection of moral tales and philosophical dialogues written by Francois De La Mothe Fenelon and originally published in 1735. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part consisting of fables that use animals as characters to convey moral lessons. The second part contains dialogues between various deceased historical figures, including Socrates, Plato, and Alexander the Great, discussing topics such as the nature of happiness and the meaning of life. Fenelon's writing style is elegant and thought-provoking, and his stories and dialogues offer valuable insights into human nature and the human condition.
