Fables by Robert Louis Stevenson audiobook.
Genre: folklore
In Fables, Robert Louis Stevenson turns a keen eye on the small, telling moments where human nature gives itself away. This compact collection gathers brief allegorical tales - some humorous, some unsettling, all sharply observed - in which everyday choices are distilled into parable. A traveler bargains for safety and learns what fear can cost. A person seeks certainty and discovers how easily conviction becomes a trap. Pride, envy, generosity, and self-deception appear not as abstract virtues and vices, but as living forces that tug at ordinary people when no one is watching. Stevenson writes with the clarity of a storyteller and the wit of a moralist, letting each scene unfold like a miniature drama before delivering its quiet sting. Instead of preaching, these fables invite listeners to recognize themselves in the characters' rationalizations, sudden impulses, and hard-won insights. By the end of each short piece, a simple situation has widened into a question: what do we truly value, and what are we willing to trade away to get it?
