Livro The Boy Without a Name / El niño sin nombre

Descrição: (Bilingual English-Spanish edition / Edición bilinge inglés-espaol) 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 Im going to give him something marvelous one day, but I will have to give him his name first. So please dont 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 doesnt 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.

Among the many insights The Boy Without a Name can provoke is the idea that it takes patience and resolve to achieve ones goals in life. Mona Carons beautiful watercolor illustrations embellish this unusual and captivating story, presenting the wonder of this hidden world to both children and adults.El día que nace el nio, un sabio visita a sus padres y les dice: Este es un nio muy, muy importante, y un día le voy a dar algo maravilloso, pero tendré que darle su nombre primero.
