1719 Fables of Antoine Houdar la Motte French Literature Fontaine Aesop Dupuis
The Fables of La Motte were written at an unfortunate time in the history of French literature.

Motte could not compete with the popularity of Fontaine and thus his fables suffered. However, his fables and stories are still read into the 21st-century, just not to the extent that Fontaine or Aesop are consumed, even though Motte sought to compete with the popularity of the two fable cornerstones.
