Overview

(Bilingual English-Spanish edition / Edici?n biling?e ingl?s-espa?ol) This is the story of two brothers: one skilled in the practical arts and the other, Prince Tambal, considered by most people to be only a dreamer. Their father, the king, announces a competition to produce “interesting and useful devices.” The entry produced by a woodcarver appears to be only a simple wooden horse of little value, but when Tambal looks more closely, he discovers that it’s able to magically travel to whatever place is in its rider’s mind. With the help of this magic horse, Tambal comes to learn a great many things and, eventually, to know his heart’s desire. Julie Freeman’s beautiful illustrations capture the magic of this tale, with the images and text inset in rich borders of oriental patterns. The Magic Horse is one of an illustrated series of Sufi teaching stories from the Middle East and Central Asia that were collected and adapted for children by Idries Shah, and that have captivated hearts and minds for more than a thousand years. The stories are designed to help children learn to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. In the Sufi tradition, there is a continuum between the children’s story, the entertainment or folklore story and the instructional or instrumental story. A story can help children deal with difficult situations and give them something to hold on to, but it can also stimulate a deeper understanding in adults. Through the instrumental function of this rich body of material, readers of all ages can learn to develop the capacity to be more flexible and to understand many more things about themselves and about life.

Esta es la historia de dos hermanos: uno experto en las artes pr?cticas y el otro, el pr?ncipe Tambal, considerado por la mayor?a de la gente como un so?ador. Su padre, el rey, anuncia un concurso para producir “dispositivos interesantes y ?tiles”. La entrada producida por un tallador de madera parece ser solo un simple caballo de madera de poco valor, pero cuando Tambal mira m?s de cerca, descubre que este “juguete” es capaz de viajar m?gicamente a cualquier lugar que est? en la mente de su jinete. Con la ayuda de este caballo m?gico, Tambal llega a aprender muchas cosas y, finalmente, a conocer el deseo de su coraz?n. Las hermosas ilustraciones de Julie Freeman capturan la magia de este cuento, con im?genes y texto insertados en los ricos marcos de dise?os orientales. El caballo m?gico forma parte de una serie ilustrada de historias de ense?anza suf?es de Oriente Medio y Asia central que Idries Shah recopil? y adapt? para los ni?os y que han cautivado corazones y mentes durante m?s de mil a?os. Las historias est?n dise?adas para ayudar a los ni?os a aprender a examinar sus suposiciones y a pensar por s? mismos. En la tradici?n suf?, existe un continuo entre el cuento infantil, el cuento de entretenimiento o folcl?rico y el cuento instrumental o instructivo. Una historia puede ayudar a los ni?os a lidiar con situaciones dif?ciles y darles algo a lo que aferrarse, pero tambi?n puede estimular una comprensi?n m?s profunda en los adultos. A trav?s de la funci?n instrumental de este rico cuerpo de material, los lectores de todas las edades pueden aprender a desarrollar la capacidad de ser m?s flexibles y comprender muchas m?s cosas sobre s? mismos y sobre la vida.
