Download or read book Timeless Tales written by Maher Asaad Baker and published by tredition. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the human veins there is effluence of the stream of the stories which carries heal of the myths and the legends for as long as the world existed. In "Timeless Tales", we go through this vast area of these interesting stories in an effort to evaluate their body and soul and determine the impact of society, psychology today and in arts and contemporary literature. As for our voyage, it starts with the Greco-Egyptian lore that has no beginning and end and is heralded by the frozen civilized bleakness of the North. We get into the worlds of gods and heroes and meet with such representations within ourselves and our lives. Through the twists and turns of the stories, profound messages are revealed regarding such things as confusion and structure, pain and ecstasy, annihilation and resurrection. This book is more than the straightforward analysis of mythology; it is an attempt to awaken the world to the value of stories and finite; it is a call to face the questions that have been asked since the dawn of time and to live fully in the face of mystery.

Book excerpt: Come along with us as we retell stories of the mischievous but very intelligent West African, Ashanti trickster, Anansi the Spider. Anansi likes to get his own way and often uses his wit to outsmart animals much larger or stronger than he is; but Anansi doesn't know when enough is enough and his desire to win sometimes gets the best of him. Anansi tales date back to at least the 1500s and travelled by word of mouth from village to village. Throughout the diaspora, enslaved Africans would retell Anansi stories, passing them on through the generations and spreading them across Africa and The Americas. These stories didn't only serve as entertainment but they offered hope. Today, there are several versions of the many Anansi tales. Here are some of them...
