Description

(Bilingual English-Spanish edition) Four traveling merchants stumble upon a magnificent palace. Once inside, they meet a mysterious man dressed in blue, and things happen that make them each question their past experiences and assumptions. Through reading this imaginative tale, children learn that looks can be deceptive, and that there are deeper reasons to help others than we might at first assume. This story is one of many teaching stories collected and adapted by the Afghan philosopher Idries Shah, who told them to his own children to promote thinking skills and impart wisdom. These unique tales have their roots in Central Asia and the Middle East. They are published now, beautifully illustrated, so as to appeal to children in the lands in which they originated and to children in the West, the aims being to teach through humor and example and to draw attention to our commonalities. (Edición bilingüe inglés-español) Cuatro mercaderes ambulantes se topan con un magnífico palacio. Una vez dentro, se encuentran con un misterioso hombre vestido de azul, y las cosas que suceden entonces les hacen cuestionar sus experiencias pasadas y sus suposiciones. A través de la lectura de este imaginativo cuento, los niños aprenden que las apariencias pueden ser engañosas y que las razones para ayudar a los demás son más profundas de lo que podríamos suponer. Esta es una de las muchas historias didácticas recopiladas y adaptadas por el filósofo afgano Idries Shah, quien se las contaba a sus propios hijos a fin de estimular el pensamiento e impartir sabiduría. Estos singulares cuentos tienen sus raíces en Asia Central y Medio Oriente. Esta versión bellamente ilustrada atraerá a los niños de las regiones donde se originaron, así como a los del mundo occidental. El objetivo es enseñar a través del humor y el ejemplo y llamar la atención sobre lo que tenemos en común.

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 pasó gran parte de su vida recolectando narrativas clásicas sufíes e historias de enseñanza de fuentes orales y escritas en el Medio Oriente y Asia Central y publicándolas en libros. Los 11 cuentos de este tipo que adaptó especialmente para niños han sido publicados por Hoopoe Books en ediciones bellamente ilustradas, y elogiadas por educadores y psicólogos occidentales, así como por la Biblioteca del Congreso de EE. UU., National Public Radio y otros medios, por su capacidad única de fomentar el desarrollo socioemocional, y la capacidad de pensamiento y percepción, tanto en niños como en adultos. Contadas durante siglos, estas historias expresan temas universales y ofrecen una representación positiva de culturas importantes, pero a menudo incomprendidas, mostrando cuánto tenemos en común y qué podemos aprender unos de otros. Estos cuentos reconocen la individualidad y singularidad de un niño y fomentan un sentido de confianza, responsabilidad y propósito.
