About This Book

Colección de fábulas en verso que utiliza animales, objetos y tipos humanos como instrumentos retóricos para exponer comportamientos y errores sociales y literarios. Cada fábula propone una escena breve y simbólica que ridiculiza la presunción, la pereza, la pedantería, la imitación mecánica y otros vicios, y concluye con una moraleja concisa. El tono combina ironía, didactismo y economía expresiva, alternando sátira moral y reflexión sobre el lenguaje y las costumbres, con un prólogo que orienta la intención y la lectura.
