A parable from 18th-century Japan, The Animal Court recounts the proceedings of four tribunals of animals -- the birds, the beasts, the crawling creatures, and the fishes -- that gather to judge the follies of the human race. In a brilliant parody of human society, they decry humanity¹s perverse lack of self-knowledge, and lament how we foolishly imitate the laws of their harsh realms, in which big eats small. Deftly translated by Jeffrey Hunter from Japanese author Ando Shoeki¹s ³Tales of the World of Law,² and illustrated with contemporary woodblock prints, The Animal Court is funny and thought-provoking, with a very topical ecological and political twist.
