About the Book

(Bilingual English-Hungarian edition) Fatima is a young woman whose life seems beset by one disaster after another. Setting forth on a journey from her home in the West, she is shipwrecked and cast ashore alone near Alexandria, Egypt. Adopted by a local family of weavers, and beginning to prosper in her new life, she is captured and forced to work making masts for ships. While undertaking a journey to sell the masts, she finds herself shipwrecked once again - this time off the coast of China, where she finally realizes that what seemed to be disasters were really essential steps toward her eventual fulfillment. Full of wisdom and depth, and ideal as a bedtime story, Fatima's tale helps children understand the need for perseverance to reach their goals. This traditional teaching story is well known in Greek folklore, but the present version is attributed to Sheikh Mohamed Jamaludin of Adrianople (modern-day Edirne in Turkey), who died in 1750. Fatima the Spinner and the Tent is filled with wonderful illustrations by Natasha Delmar, who was taught to paint by her father, the celebrated classic Chinese painter Ng Yi-Ching. Delmar captures Fatima's adventures with a wealth of detail and color and, using Middle Eastern and Chinese design, transports readers to the exotic lands of Fatima's travels in a way delightful to both young and old.


(Kétnyelvű angol-magyar kiadás) Ebben a mesében látszólag egyik tragédia a másikat követi Fatima életében. Utazása során Marokkóból eljut a Földközi-tengeren át Egyiptomba, Törökországba és végül Kínába. Kínában ébred rá arra, hogy mindaz, ami a maga idejében szerencsétlenségnek tűnt, valójában a majdani boldogulásának elengedhetetlen része volt. Bár ez a tanmese jól ismert a görög folklórban is, ezt a változatát a drinápolyi (mai nevén Edirne) Mohamed Jamaludin sejknek tulajdonítják Törökországból, aki 1750-ben halt meg. Idries Shah adta ki először nyomtatásban 1967 ben Dervistörténetek - Szúfi mesterek tanmeséi az elmúlt ezer évből című klasszikus művében. A szúfi hagyományban a gyerekmese, a szórakoztató folklór történet és a tanmese nem válik el élesen egymástól. Egy-egy ilyen történet segíthet a gyerekeknek abban, hogy megbirkózzanak a nehéz helyzetekkel, és kapaszkodót adhat a kezükbe. Ugyanakkor a felnőtteket is arra ösztönözheti, hogy keressék a történetek mélyebb jelentését.
