The Man and the Fox -- L'homme et le renard

English-French Edition

Beschreibung

(Bilingual English-French edition / Edition bilingue anglais-français) A young fox's ingenuity and perseverance enable it to escape from a clever trap set by a man. This engaging story can inspire children to face challenges directly and to overcome obstacles in their path - and even to make use of those obstacles to solve problems. Adapted for children by Idries Shah, it is one of hundreds of Sufi developmental tales he collected from oral and written sources in Central Asia and the Middle East. Sally Mallam's illustrations provide delightful and imaginative depictions of the characters. For more than a millennium, the story of the man and the fox has entertained young people and helped foster in them the ability to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. L'ingéniosité et la persévérance d'un jeune renard lui permettent d'échapper à un piège astucieux tendu par un homme. Cette histoire captivante peut inspirer les enfants à relever directement les défis et à surmonter les obstacles sur leur chemin - et même à utiliser ces obstacles pour résoudre des problèmes. Adapté pour les enfants par Idries Shah, c'est l'un des centaines de contes de développement soufis qu'il a rassemblés à partir de sources orales et écrites en Asie centrale et au Moyen-Orient. Les illustrations de Sally Mallam fournissent des représentations délicieuses et imaginatives des personnages. Pendant plus d'un millénaire, l'histoire de l'homme et du renard a diverti les jeunes et les a aidés à développer la capacité d'examiner leurs hypothèses et de penser par eux-mêmes.

Autor

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.
