El conde Lucanor by Infante of Castile Juan Manuel

This medieval Spanish classic presents fifty-one moral tales drawn from diverse sources including Aesop, Arabic traditions, and stories with roots in Hindu and Japanese folklore.

that distill their moral lessons, creating a timeless collection of wisdom and counsel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
