by Idries Shah (Author), Mona Caron (Illustrator)

(Bilingual English-German edition / Zweisprachige Ausgabe Englisch-Deutsch) On the day a boy is born, his parents are visited by a wise man who tells them, "This is a very, very important boy, and I'm going to give him something marvelous one day, but I will have to give him his name first. So please don't give him a name yet." So they named the boy Benaam, which means "nameless." The story tells how he seeks and eventually finds his own true name, and how he also gives away an old dream that he doesn't want - and gets a wonderful new dream. This 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. Among the many insights The Boy Without a Name can provoke is the idea that it takes patience and resolve to achieve one's goals in life. Mona Caron's beautiful watercolor illustrations embellish this unusual and captivating story, presenting the wonder of this hidden world to both children and adults.


An dem Tag, an dem ein Junge geboren wird, besucht ein weiser Mann seine Eltern, der ihnen sagt: "Dies ist ein sehr, sehr wichtiger Junge, und ich werde ihm eines Tages etwas Wunderbares schenken, aber ich muss ihm zuerst seinen Name geben. Also gebt ihm bitte noch keinen Namen." Also nannten sie den Jungen Benaam, was "namenlos" bedeutet. Die Geschichte erzählt, wie er seinen eigenen wahren Namen sucht und schlie lich findet, und wie er auch einen alten Traum verschenkt, den er nicht will - und einen wunderbaren neuen Traum bekommt. Dies ist eine von einer illustrierten Reihe von Sufi-Lehrgeschichten aus dem Nahen Osten und Zentralasien, die von Idries Shah gesammelt und für Kinder adaptiert wurden und die Herzen und Köpfe seit mehr als tausend Jahren fesseln. Die Geschichten sollen Kindern helfen, ihre Annahmen zu überprüfen und selbstständig zu denken. Zu den vielen Erkenntnissen, die Der Junge ohne Namen hervorrufen kann, gehört die Vorstellung, dass es Geduld und Entschlossenheit braucht, um eigene Lebensziele zu erreichen. Mona Carons wunderschöne Aquarellillustrationen verschönern diese ungewöhnliche und fesselnde Geschichte und präsentieren sowohl Kindern als auch Erwachsenen das Wunder dieser verborgenen Welt.
