Sumerian Fables
by Yalvac Ural
Description
Yalvaç Ural as one of the best Turkish authors of children’s literature compiles 46 Sumerian fables in this book. Finding similarities between Aesop’s fables and Sumerian writings on tablets, the experienced author aims to show us that the first ever written fables could be these Sumerian fables. He uses his literary skill to round up the broken structures, proverbs, idioms, missing translations on broken tablets left to us by the Sumerians, to be complemented by the meticulous drawings of Erdoğan Oğultekin in a style reflecting life in that time and at that place. With its broad perspective, this book paves the way for a cultural history not only for children but also for adults.
