Palwasha Bazger Salam Bücher

Set against the backdrop of 18th-century Afghanistan, the story follows Ahmad Shah Durrani, a revered king facing numerous challenges in his empire. As he seeks someone with the right qualities to assist him, the narrative encourages young readers to reflect on the attributes necessary for a fulfilling life. Retold by Afghan storyteller Palwasha Bazger Salam, this bilingual edition features stunning illustrations by Natasha Delmar and includes additional resources like a biography of Ahmad Shah and a map of the Durrani Empire.

The story centers on a young couple who, after generously hosting a weary traveler, receive a surprising blessing in return for their kindness. Their good deed leads to a dramatic change in their fortunes, contrasting sharply with the greedy merchant who seeks to exploit the stranger's powers but faces dire consequences instead. Set in Afghanistan, this retelling by Palwasha Bazger Salam introduces children to a rich culture while imparting valuable lessons about generosity and its impact. The book features beautiful illustrations by Marie Lafrance.
