Revising the Aesopian tradition in fables of Julian Ejsmond The Grasshopper and the Ant and The Bee and the Pigeon
Grzegorz Igliński
Abstract
The article discusses two youthful fables of Julian Ejsmond. He analyses them in the context of ancient Greek Aesop’s fables and fables of Jean de La Fontaine. He also exploits fables of Franciszek Dzierżykraj-Morawski and Jan Lemański. He shows transformations of the ancient prototype above all. Fables of Ejsmond are an example of the return to sources, but being parodic redefining the tradition. These fables try to put widespread motifs straight. So occurring relations between texts of different authors, taking the same Aesopian subject up are an object of the work.
