The Peasants' Bible and the Story of the Tiger
Dario Fo
The Italian winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature delivers two sparkling, imaginative works never previously published. “The Peasants? Bible? is a collection of five stories drawn from Italian folklore but filtered through Fo?s delightfully singular lens—for example, an Adam and Eve who are passionately entwined like peas in a pod; a race between two classes of men struggling for power that resembles the legend of the Hare and the Tortoise—to form a Bible of the common man. “The Story of the Tiger? is the story of a Fourth Army soldier injured fighting Chiang Kai-shek?s army, saved from starvation by being suckled by an enormous tiger, who then comes back to defeat Kai-shek by using model tigers in combat.
