This book combines paintings of animals by the extraordinary German expressionist painter Franz Marc with a selection of some of the best fables in Spanish (17th-20th centuries).

Few painters have succeeded in capturing such a large number of animals on canvas with so much beauty, sensitivity and sensuality as Franz Marc, a founding member of the German expressionist group "Blauer Reiter".

There were a number of excellent fable writers in Spain particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries who are considered to be among the best.

The anthology also includes an introduction to the genre of fable in general, and the fable in Spanish in particular, as well as biographies of the seven selected fable authors and painter Franz Marc. These biographies introduce readers to 17th-20th century Spain and European history, particularly the Germany of the 20th century and the European avant-garde art of the early 20th century.

This European mix aims to promote reading and artistic culture among the general and school public. By presenting cultures from different European countries it contributes to developing knowledge of Europe.
