Oinkink / Gorkork: Bilingual English-Turkish Edition / İngilizce-Türkçe İki Dilli Baskı (Teaching Stories)

(Bilingual English-Turkish edition) In this very humorous tale, a man greedily hopes to have the skills and senses of a different animal but is so impatient to have his wish granted that he finds himself limiting his abilities, rather than enhancing them. This is one of a series of illustrated books for the young written by the Afghan philosopher and educator Idries Shah, whose collections of narratives and teaching stories have captivated the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life. It belongs to a rich storytelling tradition from Afghanistan, Central Asia and the Middle East that is more than 1,000 years old. These stories are not only entertaining; they are designed specifically to foster thinking skills and perception. They suggest, in their structure and in the movement of their characters, ways of looking at difficulties that can help solve them. Among other things, this simple story shows children how a blind impulse to "win," without considering the consequences, can end up having the opposite effect.

(İngilizce-Türkçe İki Dilli Baskı) Bu oldukça eğlenceli hikâyede, açgözlü bir adam başka bir hayvanın duyu ve becerilerine sahip olmayı umuyor. Ancak bu dileğini yerine getirmek için o kadar sabırsız davranıyor ki sonunda becerilerini geliştirmek yerine sınırlandırdığını fark ediyor. Elinizde tuttuğunuz bu kitap, öykü toplamaları ve öğretici hikâyeleri ile her yaştan okuyucunun kalbini ve zihnini fetheden Afgan filozof ve eğitimci İdris Şah'ın resimli kitap serilerinden birine ait ve Afganistan, Orta Asya ve Orta Doğu'da 1000 yıldan uzun süredir devam eden zengin hikâye anlatma geleneğinin bir parçası. Her şeyin ötesinde, bu basit hikâye çocuklara 'kazanma' dürtüsüyle düşünmeden yapılan bir hareketin nasıl tam tersi bir sonuç doğurabileceğini gösteriyor.

About the Author
Shah, Idries: - "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."
