(Bilingual English-German edition / Zweisprachige Ausgabe Englisch-Deutsch) 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.
Fatima ist eine junge Frau, deren Leben von einer Katastrophe nach der anderen heimgesucht wird. Sie macht sich auf den Weg von ihrer Heimat im Westen, erleidet Schiffbruch und wird allein in der N臧e von Alexandria, トgypten, an Land geworfen. Von einer lokalen Weberfamilie adoptiert und im Begriff ihr neues Leben zu beginnen, wird sie gefangen genommen und gezwungen, Masten f? Schiffe herzustellen. W臧rend sie sich auf den Weg macht, die Masten zu verkaufen, erleidet sie erneut Schiffbruch - diesmal vor der K?te Chinas, wo sie schlie lich erkennt, dass die scheinbaren Katastrophen eigentlich wesentliche Schritte zu ihrer endg?tigen Erf?lung waren. Voller Weisheit und Tiefe und ideal als Gute-Nacht-Geschichte, hilft Fatimas Geschichte Kindern zu verstehen, dass sie Ausdauer brauchen, um ihre Ziele zu erreichen. Diese traditionelle Lehrgeschichte ist in der griechischen Folklore gut bekannt, aber die vorliegende Version wird Scheich Mohamed Jamaludin von Adrianopel (heute Edirne in der T?kei) zugeschrieben, der 1750 starb. Die Spinnerin Fatima und das Zelt sind mit wunderbaren Illustrationen von Natasha Delmar gef?lt, der von ihrem Vater, dem gefeierten klassischen chinesischen Maler Ng Yi-Ching, das Malen beigebracht wurde. Delmar f舅gt Fatimas Abenteuer mit einer F?le von Details und Farben ein und entf?rt die Leser mit nahtlichem und chinesischem Design, auf eine f? Jung und Alt reizvolle Weise, in die exotischen L舅der von Fatimas Reisen.

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
