The frog that didn't know it was cooked

In *The Frog Who Didn't Know She Was Cooked*, Olivier Clerc presents—inspired by the thoughts of Plato, Jung, Aïvanhov, and La Fontaine, as well as by Hindu and Buddhist writings—a series of fables that function as metaphors for human existence. In a charming journey through the universe of allegory, the author invites the reader to examine short, beautiful, and simple narratives, from which he draws lessons about politics, health, education, and even relationships. There are six stories: "The Frog in the Pot of Water: Are We Half-Boiled Yet?", "The Chinese Bamboo: Preparation in the Dark," "The Wax and the Hot Water: The Power of First Impressions," "The Butterfly and the Cocoon: The Help That Weakens, the Difficulty That Strengthens," "The Magnetic Field and the Filings: Modifying the Visible by Acting on the Invisible," "The Egg, the Chick... and the Omelette: From the Shell to the Skeleton," and "Quinton's Viper: External Environment and Inner Strength."
