Abstract
I found some surprising information on Wikipedia. José Corti is a book shop and publishing house located in Paris and was founded in 1925. It is named after its founder, José Corticchiato (1895-1984); it is one of France's most prestigious and low-profile independent publishing houses. José Corticchiato started his business by publishing the work of his surrealist friends, including André Breton, Paul Éluard, and Louis Aragon. José Corti's book shop is located in the Latin Quarter in Paris. Its motto is Rien de Commun (Nothing Commonplace). The French here is beyond me, and Corti is not in The Fabulists French. I can say that there are twenty-one pastiches of La Fontaine offered here in a beautifully produced book. There is a T of C at the back. From what I could gather of Odette de Mourgues' preface, there is here some wonderful imitation of what La Fontaine did, and the imitation goes much deeper than the surface. Alas, the book will have to wait for a more skilled French reader than me!
