Overview

(Bilingual English-Turkish 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.

(İngilizce-T?rk?e İki Dilli Baskı) Elinizde tuttuğunuz kitap, yazar ve eğitimci İdris Şah’ın yeniden yorumladığı ?ocuklar i?in geleneksel hik?yeler serisinin dokuzuncu kitabıdır. Bu hik?yenin kahramanı Fatma’nın hayatı ilk başta felaket gibi g?r?nen olaylarla kuşatılmıştır. ?ıktığı yolculuk Fatma’yı Fas’tan Akdeniz’e, oradan Mısır’a, T?rkiye’ye ve nihayet ?in’e g?t?r?r. ?in’de, Fatma başta b?y?k talihsizlikler gibi g?r?nen olayların, mutluluğa ulaşmasının ayrılmaz birer par?ası olduğunu anlar. Bu ?ğretici hik?ye Yunan halk edebiyatında iyi bilinir, ancak bu version 1750’de T?rkiye’de ?len Edirneli Seyyid Mehmed Cem?leddin’e atfedilir. Hik?ye ilk kez İdris Şah’ın 1967’de yayınlanan “Derviş Masalları Tasavvuf ?stadlarının Son Bin Yıldaki ?ğretileri” isimli klasik eserinde yayınlanmıştır. Tasavvuf geleneğinde ?ocuk masalları, eğlenceli veya folklorik hik?yeler ve ?ğretici veya etkili hik?yeler arasında bir devamlılık bulunur. ?ocukların zor durumlarla başa ?ıkmasına yardımcı olan ve onlara tutunacak bir şeyler veren bir hik?ye, aynı zamanda yetişkinlerde daha derin bir anlayışı teşvik edebilir.
