(Bilingual English-German edition / Zweisprachige Ausgabe Englisch-Deutsch) On the day a boy is born, his parents are visited by a wise man who tells them, "This is a very, very important boy, and I'm going to give him something marvelous one day, but I will have to give him his name first. So please don't give him a name yet." So they named the boy Benaam, which means "nameless." The story tells how he seeks and eventually finds his own true name, and how he also gives away an old dream that he doesn't want - and gets a wonderful new dream. This is one of an illustrated series of Sufi teaching stories from the Middle East and Central Asia that were collected and adapted for children by Idries Shah, and that have captivated hearts and minds for more than a thousand years. The stories are designed to help children learn to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. Among the many insights The Boy Without a Name can provoke is the idea that it takes patience and resolve to achieve one's goals in life. Mona Caron's beautiful watercolor illustrations embellish this unusual and captivating story, presenting the wonder of this hidden world to both children and adults. An dem Tag, an dem ein Junge geboren wird, besucht ein weiser Mann seine Eltern, der ihnen sagt: ¿Dies ist ein sehr, sehr wichtiger Junge, und ich werde ihm eines Tages etwas Wunderbares schenken, aber ich muss ihm zuerst seinen Name geben. Also gebt ihm bitte noch keinen Namen." Also nannten sie den Jungen Benaam, was ¿namenlos" bedeutet. Die Geschichte erzählt, wie er seinen eigenen wahren Namen sucht und schließlich findet, und wie er auch einen alten Traum verschenkt, den er nicht will - und einen wunderbaren neuen Traum bekommt. Dies ist eine von einer illustrierten Reihe von Sufi-Lehrgeschichten aus dem Nahen Osten und Zentralasien, die von Idries Shah gesammelt und für Kinder adaptiert wurden und die Herzen und Köpfe seit mehr als tausend Jahren fesseln. Die Geschichten sollen Kindern helfen, ihre Annahmen zu überprüfen und se
Autorenporträt
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.
