Book Overview

(Bilingual English-Hungarian 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.


(K?tnyelvű angol-magyar kiad?s) Ebben a sz?rakoztat? mes?ben egy ?reg n?ni ?let?ben elősz?r l?t egy sast. Ismeretlen k?lsej?től megzavarodva ?gy d?nt, hogy ?ta-lak?tja a sast aszerint, hogy szerinte hogyan kellene a madaraknak kin?zni?k. Erőfesz?t?sei az emberi gondolkod?s egy k?z?s mint?j?t t?kr?zik: az ismeretlent megv?ltoztatni, hogy elfogadhat? legyen. Ezt a mes?t k?l?n gyermekeknek ?rta ?t Idries Shah, az afg?n ?r? ?s tan?t?, aki t?bb mint 30 ?vig gyűjt?tte a sz?fi hagyom?ny mes?it, sz?jhagyom?nyb?l ?s ?rott forr?sokb?l. Az ilyen mes?ket, amelyeket ősidők ?ta mes?lnek K?z?p-?zsi?ban ?s a K?zel-Keleten, arra haszn?lj?k, hogy előseg?ts?k a nagyobb szellemi hajl?konys?got ?s a megl?t?sokat

mindenf?le kor? emberben.
