Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. A story-within-a-story, as a brother-sister pair listen to a storytelling in a park. The story is that of a Persian king and queen who put their long-awaited baby out on a hillside when he turns out to have white hair; the boy, Prince Zal, is rescued by the Simorgh, a phoenix, who raises him along with her own chicks and teaches him everything he needs to know. Sixteen years later, the king returns to the spot where his son was left to place a memorial, and sees the boy still alive; he begs his forgiveness and the boy returns home with him. Brilliant jewel-toned illustrations accompany the text, and back matter includes information about the instruments that play each character in the storytelling (a la Peter and the Wolf).

'Iran has an ancient tradition of storytelling and poetry where musicians play instruments to bring stories to life. The most important epic in Iran is called the Shahnameh (pronounced Shaah-naah-meh), which means "The Book of Kings". It was written by the poet Abolqasem Ferdowsi who lived about a thousand years ago. It took over 30 years to write, and has over 50,000 rhyming couplets. The Shahnameh is considered to be one of the greatest epics of world literature. The Phoenix of Persia is about a mythical bird, the Simorgh, one of the most magical characters in the Shahnameh. The Simorgh takes care of a tiny baby, who grows up to become Prince Zal - the hero of many other stories in the Shahanameh.' -- from introduction. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
