Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Do not be deceived by the title. 'A Tortoise and The Mountain' is not a children's story book.It is an allegory to inspire youths and adults, through the trials and tribulations of Torii, a tortoise - a small creature which often hides in a shell and frequently associated with not wanting to deal with problems - trying to climb and conquer a massive mountain, Mount Hap, many times her size. It conveys a message of hope, courage, toil, perseverance, humility and about how it is possible to get the network of support and encouragement to guide us and to keep us going, even when the going gets tough. The parable is filled with rich imagery and descriptive text. While reading, readers will inevitably be drawn slowly and consciously to be in the shoes of Torii, to experience her incredible adventure, feel her trials and tribulations, and enjoy her final triumph over hardships and sufferings.The author has 'once again done what all good fables do and demonstrate - with perseverance and determination, success will be ours. Bide the time and bear the consequences and ultimately, the negative forces surrounding us will be defeated and joy and success will emerge triumph.''From the young, who will find delight in the character's meanderings to the profound realizations at the end, all who read this remarkable fable attentively, will be enriched and will always remember the heroic adventures of our irreplaceable Torii.' Like 'The Boy, the mole, the fox and the Horse', written by Charlie Mackesy, both our boo preach the ideal moral values and virtues of hope, friendships and love, and more - solacking in our world today - and that beneath our skins of many hues and beneath, we are all universally the same.Quote is from Professor (Dr) Kirpal Singh, Creativity Guru, Vice President of American Creativity Association and Visiting Scholar at the Stern School of Business, New York UniversityCritique and Review by Professor (Dr) Kirpal Singh, Creativity Guru, Vice President of American Creativity Association and Visiting Scholar at the Stern School of Business, New York University :'A Timely and Necessary Fable .In writing about the trials and tribulations of Torii and her final triumph over hardships and sufferings, Lim has once again done what all good fables do and demonstrate - with perseverance and determination, success will be ours. Bide the time and bear the consequences and ultimately, the negative forces surrounding us will be defeated and joy and success will emerge triumph.In the growing richness of Singapore's literature - a literature that is still assiduously finding its feet, so to speak - the rarity of fables clearly stands out. It is precisely here that Lim rescues us by giving us this remarkable fable, which can be enjoyed by all. From the young, who will find delight in the character's meanderings to the profound realisations at the end, all who read this remarkable fable attentively, will be enriched and always remember the heroic adventures of our irreplaceable Torii.'Other reviews:'A Tortoise and the Mountain' brought out clearly many 'conflicts' which Torii faces in her journey up the mountain. Many of the moral lessons Soon Hock tries to impart via the struggles of Torii along the way are easily grasped by the reader.'Retired Professor Chua Joon Eng, NUS, an expert and a critic of short stories'It is Soon Hock's best piece thus far - the most descriptive with lots of flavour and values skilfully intertwined within. Enjoyable to read for many, especially to inspire and to entertain the youths and adults, as well as those who enjoy nature and animals.'Shireen Cheong, short stories enthusiast and one of the authors of Golden Nuggets'Do not be deceived by the title of the allegory. Read to be amazed by the rich imagery and beautiful text, about Torii and her incredible adventure.'Tracy Chang, Dire.…
