Description

(Bilingual English-French edition) A wealthy merchant's prize possession is a beautiful bird. Believing that he loves the exotic creature too much to set it free, the merchant discovers that animals are sometimes better at learning by example than humans. This is one of a series of illustrated books for the young written by the Afghan philosopher and educator Idries Shah, whose collections of narratives and teaching stories have captivated the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life. It belongs to a rich storytelling tradition from Afghanistan, Central Asia and the Middle East that is more than 1,000 years old. These tales are more than entertaining; they are designed specifically to foster thinking skills and perception. They suggest in their structure and in the movement of their characters ways of looking at difficulties that can help solve them. Children will learn that it is good to observe others in order to learn, and that sometimes the actions of others are not all that they first seem to be. (Édition bilingue anglais-français) Un riche marchand possède un magnifique oiseau exotique. Il l'aime trop pour pouvoir lui rendre sa liberté. Il va apprendre que les animaux sont parfois plus aptes que les humains à apprendre par l'exemple. Le Parent de l'oiseau est un des titres de la collection de livres illustrés pour les jeunes écrits par le philosophe et éducateur afghan Idries Shah, don't les recueils de récits et d'histoires-enseignements ont captivé le coeur et l'esprit de lecteurs de tous horizons. Il s'inscrit dans une tradition féconde et plus que millénaire de storytelling qui a sa source en Afghanistan, en Asie centrale et au Moyen-Orient. Les enfants y découvriront qu'il est bon d'observer les autres afin d'apprendre, et que parfois les actions d'autrui ne sont pas du tout ce qu'elles semblent être à première vue.

Author Biography:

Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting and publishing Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia. The tales he retold especially for children are published by Hoopoe Books in beautifully illustrated editions and have been widely commended - by Western educators and psychologists, the U.S. Library of Congress, National Public Radio and other media - for their unique ability to foster social-emotional development, thinking skills and perception in children and adults alike. Told for centuries, these stories express universal themes from the cultures that produced them, showing how much we have in common and can learn from each other. As noted by reviewers, such stories are more than just entertaining; familiarity with them provokes flexibility of thought, since each one contains levels of meaning that unfold in accordance with an individual's experience and understanding. Idries Shah a passé une grande partie de sa vie à rassembler des récits classiques soufis et des récits d'enseignement à partir de sources orales et écrites au Moyen-Orient et en Asie centrale et à les publier sous forme de livre. Les 11 contes qu'il a adaptés spécialement pour les enfants sont publiés par Hoopoe Books sous forme d'histoires magnifiquement illustrées, qui ont été louées par des éducateurs et des psychologues occidentaux ainsi que par la Bibliothèque du Congrès des États-Unis, National Public Radio et d'autres médias pour leur capacité unique à favoriser développement socio-émotionnel, capacités de réflexion et perception chez les enfants et les adultes. Racontées pendant des siècles, ces histoires expriment des thèmes universels et offrent une représentation positive de cultures importantes mais souvent mal comprises, montrant combien nous avons en commun et ce que nous pouvons apprendre les uns des autres. Ils reconnaissent l'individualité et l'unicité d'un enfant et encouragent un sentiment de confiance, de responsabilité et d'objectif.
