The Old Woman and the Eagle / De oude vrouw en de adelaar
(Bilingual English-Dutch edition) In this amusing story, an old woman encounters an eagle for the first time. Perplexed by its unfamiliar appearance, she decides to change it to suit her own ideas of what a bird should look like. Her efforts mirror a common pattern of human thought: altering the unfamiliar to make it acceptable. This tale is specially presented for children by Afghan author Idries Shah, who, for more than 30 years, collected stories from the Sufi tradition and adapted them to contemporary Western culture. Told since ancient times throughout Central Asia and the Middle East, such tales are used to help foster greater mental flexibility and insight in people of all ages. The Old Woman and the Eagle is wonderfully illustrated by Natasha Delmar, who was taught to paint by her father, the celebrated classic Chinese painter Ng Yi-Ching.(Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) In dit grappige verhaal ontmoet een oude vrouw voor het eerst een adelaar. Verbijsterd door zijn onbekende uiterlijk besluit ze hem aan te passen aan haar eigen idee禱n over hoe een vogel eruit zou moeten zien. Haar pogingen weerspiegelen een algemeen patroon van menselijk denken: het onbekende veranderen om het aanvaardbaar te maken. Dit verhaal wordt speciaal voor kinderen gepresenteerd door de Afghaanse auteur Idries Shah, die al meer dan 30 jaar verhalen uit de Soefitraditie verzamelt en aanpast aan de hedendaagse westerse cultuur. Deze verhalen, die sinds de oudheid in Centraal-Azi禱 en het Midden-Oosten worden verteld, worden gebruikt om mensen van alle leeftijden meer mentale flexibiliteit en inzicht te geven.
The Silly Chicken / De dwaze kip
(Bilingual English-Dutch edition) This is a delightful and humorous tale about a chicken who learns to speak as we do - with unexpected consequences. The surprising events that follow intrigue young children and, and at the same time, alert them in a very amusing way to the dangers of being too quick to believe everything they hear. Illustrator Jeff Jackson creates a lively and lighthearted world, rich in color and expression, in which anything can happen. This tale is one of the many hundreds of Sufi developmental stories collected by Idries Shah from oral and written sources in Central Asia and the Middle East. For more than a thousand years, it has entertained young people and helped foster in them the ability to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves.(Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) Dit is een heerlijk en humoristisch verhaal over een kip die leert spreken zoals wij - met onverwachte gevolgen. De verrassende gebeurtenissen die volgen intrigeren jonge kinderen en waarschuwen hen tegelijkertijd op zeer amusante wijze voor de gevaren van het te snel geloven van alles wat ze horen. Illustrator Jeff Jackson cre禱ert een levendige en luchtige wereld, rijk aan kleur en expressie, waarin van alles kan gebeuren. Dit verhaal is een van de vele honderden soefiverhalen die Idries Shah heeft verzameld uit mondelinge en schriftelijke bronnen in Centraal-Azi禱 en het Midden-Oosten. Meer dan duizend jaar lang heeft het jonge mensen vermaakt en hen geholpen hun vooronderstellingen te onderzoeken en zelf na te denken.
