Abstract

Fable is an ancient genre documented in pre -Christian civilizations. The roots of the fables that arrive in Brazil are Latin and Greek and in the word “fable”, the etymology suggests, there is the meaning of “talk”, an action that is attributed to animals or to inanimate beings is responsible for the “wonderful” aspect of the genre. The text to be analyzed will discuss the presence of animal fables in circulation in Brazil through the work of Monteiro Lobato.
