Produktbeschreibung

(Bilingual English-Hungarian edition) This is the story of two brothers: one skilled in the practical arts and the other, Prince Tambal, considered by most people to be only a dreamer. Their father, the king, announces a competition to produce "interesting and useful devices." The entry produced by a woodcarver appears to be only a simple wooden horse of little value, but when Tambal looks more closely, he discovers that it's able to magically travel to whatever place is in its rider's mind. With the help of this magic horse, Tambal comes to learn a great many things and, eventually, to know his heart's desire. Julie Freeman's beautiful illustrations capture the magic of this tale, with the images and text inset in rich borders of oriental patterns. The Magic Horse 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. In the Sufi tradition, there is a continuum between the children's story, the entertainment or folklore story and the instructional or instrumental story. A story can help children deal with difficult situations and give them something to hold on to, but it can also stimulate a deeper understanding in adults. Through the instrumental function of this rich body of material, readers of all ages can learn to develop the capacity to be more flexible and to understand many more things about themselves and about life. (Kétnyelv¿ angol-magyar kiadás) Ez a mese két hercegr¿l szól, és a sorsukról. Hosjár herceg magas rangot kap és vagyonos lesz, míg hatalmas fémhalak építését felügyeli, amelyek csodálatos feladatokat képesek elvégezni és jólétet biztosítanak országa lakosságának. Fivérét, Tambal herceget csakis egy faló érdekli, amit egy egyszer¿ fam¿vest¿l kap. De ez a ló csodaló. Oda viszi lovasát, ha ¿szinte, ahová szíve igazából vágyik. Egy napon Tambal herceg elt¿nik a csodalovon. Sokáig messze jár, és sok izgalmas kalandon esik át, miel¿tt elnyeri szíve vágyát és visszatérhet hazájába. Ez egyike a hagyományos szúfi tanmeséknek, amelyeket az író és tanító Idries Shah gy¿jtött. Ezek a mesék nemcsak szórakoztatóak, de ösztönzik a gondolkodást és az érzékelést is, gyermekekben és feln¿ttekben egyaránt, és segítenek abban, hogy többet értsünk meg magunkról, választásainkról, motivációinkról és az életr¿l.

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.
