Description

(Bilingual English-German edition / Zweisprachige Ausgabe Englisch-Deutsch) Some 250 years ago, the Great King Ahmad Shah Durrani ruled Afghanistan and, from there, a magnificent empire extending from eastern Iran to northern India, and from the Amu Darya River to the Indian Ocean. Known to his people as Ahmad Shah Baba (Ahmad Shah, our father), the beloved king was an outstanding general and a just and wise ruler. But he was vexed with all kinds of problems that threatened his kingdom, and he realized he needed to find someone with the right qualities to help him. The big question was how to find such a person. Among other things, this story provides a framework through which young readers can consider and discuss the qualities one needs in order to live a useful and happy life. This intriguing legend is retold for young people by the Afghan storyteller and teacher Palwasha Bazger Salam, and is beautifully illustrated by artist Natasha Delmar. Additional pages include a biography of Ahmad Shah, a map of the Durrani Empire and suggested discussion points. Vor etwa 250 Jahren regierte der Großkönig Ahmad Shah Durrani Afghanistan und von dort aus ein prächtiges Reich, das sich vom Ostiran bis Nordindien und vom Amu Darya-Fluss bis zum Indischen Ozean erstreckte. Bei seinem Volk als Ahmad Shah Baba (Ahmad Shah, unser Vater) bekannt, war der geliebte König ein hervorragender General und ein gerechter und weiser Herrscher. Aber er war von allen möglichen Problemen heimgesucht, die sein Königreich bedrohten, und er erkannte, dass er jemanden mit den richtigen Eigenschaften finden musste, der ihm helfen konnte. Die große Frage war, wie man eine solche Person findet. Diese Geschichte bietet unter anderem einen Rahmen, durch den junge Leser über die Qualitäten nachdenken und diskutieren können, die man braucht, um ein nützliches und glückliches Leben zu führen. Diese faszinierende Legende wird von der afghanischen Geschichtenerzählerin und Lehrerin Palwasha Bazger Salam für junge Leute nacherzählt und von der Künstlerin Natasha Delmar wunderschön illustriert. Zusätzliche Seiten enthalten eine Biographie von Ahmad Shah, eine Karte des Durrani-Reiches und vorgeschlagene Diskussionspunkte.
