Abstract
I already have English and French presentations of Bierce. Now here is an extensive presentation of his fable work in German. The back cover quotes the Neue Zürcher Zeitung well: Stets aufs neue zu bestätigen: der Meister der Kurzform. There are four sections here: Fantastische Fabeln; Fabeln aus 'Fun'; Aesopus Emendatus; and Alte Spruche mit neuen Klopfern. Other than the covers' illustration of an insect reading (or devouring?) a book, there are no illustrations. The German copyright for the works of Bierce, as is acknowledged here, belongs to Haffmann Verlag, and they have a page of advertisements at the end. Just before that there is a page-long editorial notice explaining the few fables not included in this volume, and the sources of those that are included.
