Each fable serves not only as an entertaining narrative but also as a conduit for Tolstoy's exploration of ethical dilemmas, serving as a bridge between the ordinary and the profound, perfect for nurturing young minds in a rapidly changing world. Leo Tolstoy, a literary giant and moral philosopher, crafted these fables during a time of profound personal transformation and social upheaval in 19th-century Russia. His lifelong quest for truth and ethical living deeply influenced this collection. Drawing from folk tales, personal experiences, and his own spiritual awakenings, Tolstoy aimed to instill timeless values of compassion, humility, and integrity in younger generations, stemming from his belief in the importance of moral education. "Fables for Children" stands as a testament to Tolstoy's genius, making it an invaluable addition to the canon of children's literature. Recommended for both young readers and adults, the fables provide engaging narratives that challenge our moral compass while fostering a love for storytelling. Allow this book to illuminate the path of ethical understanding and inspire critical reflection on the nature of human behavior.

Patrizia Luraschi

Why talk about water? This vital compound is not equal to anything that gives life to humans, animals and plants; in short, to the entire ecosystem on Earth. How vital can it be to have water to drink to quench your thirst, to accompany our food and to make our environment livable? Many of us ignore the importance of this, either by squandering this common good, or by using it to do business. I will talk about how water is used in various continents and also how it is exploited by some for business, when a common good should belong to all and at low cost. Then we will also address the most important topic, pollution, which today destroys entire seas, lakes and rivers. Sources polluted by the neglect of man towards the environment and towards himself, yes, because those who ruin their territory will also ruin their own future and this is incomprehensible by all those who are defending this planet of ours. We will talk about the various types of water and their characteristics and their qualities. In short, a complete roundup that will bring more knowledge for this immense good that is water.
