    About this ebook

    "The Black Fables" is the first collection of short stories by Ursula Coppolaro.

    As can be deduced from the title, the correct term would probably be "fable" instead of stories. Because this is Ursula in His narration always inserts a moral background, characteristic of the genre of the Fable.

    This collection shows us how it is possible, even in 2014, revisit, correct and expand a genre That is deepened since the time of Aesop and Phaedrus, but as it is Also possible to add something new: a bit of macabre and noir.

    Phaedrus Already teaches us That the story is not always a happy ending, and not always win heros.

    Ursula Often stays halfway between a pessimistic and an optimistic, showing worlds with dark gray shades.

    Characterized by a slender, essential style, the prose of Ursula is accessible to all, but not unfluent, or less suited to convey a concept That is Often Overlooked in the modern world: a moral That lesson can be drawn from experience, Whether it be literary or real life.
