The Farmer's Wife / O ¿ONIE FARMERA - Shah, Idries

. .

Résumé :
(Bilingual English-Polish edition) This story tells how a woman loses an apple down a hole in the ground and then makes a series of attempts to retrieve it. Children love chanting the action sequence of this cumulative tale from memory, but when the plot takes a sudden turn that's contrary to all expectations, they also learn important lessons about the nature of problem solving and discovery. The strikingly beautiful illustrations by Rose Mary Santiago invoke the origins of the story - which comes from the Sufi tradition and has been told for hundreds of years in the Middle East and Central Asia - while at the same time lending a uniquely playful atmosphere to this very amusing tale.

Biographie:
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.Idries Shah pas? gran parte de su vida recolectando narrativas cl?sicas suf?es e historias de ense?anza de fuentes orales y escritas en el Medio Oriente y Asia Central y public?ndolas en libros. Los 11 cuentos de este tipo que adapt? especialmente para ni?os han sido publicados por Hoopoe Books en ediciones bellamente ilustradas, y elogiadas por educadores y psic?logos occidentales, as? como por la Biblioteca del Congreso de EE. UU., National Public Radio y otros medios, por su capacidad ?nica de fomentar el desarrollo socioemocional, y la capacidad de pensamiento y percepci?n, tanto en ni?os como en adultos. Contadas durante siglos, estas historias expresan temas universales y ofrecen una representaci?n positiva de culturas importantes, pero a menudo incomprendidas, mostrando cu?nto tenemos en com?n y qu? podemos aprender unos de otros. Estos cuentos reconocen la individualidad y singularidad de un ni?o y fomentan un sentido de confianza, responsabilidad y prop?sito.
