Excerpt from A Book of Short Stories: A Collection for Use in High Schools, Compiled and Edited, With Introduction and Notes, and Biographies of the Authors
In all ages and countries mankind has told stories, each age and country finding reflection in the type of narrative best suited to mirror the life and the ideals of the people. Oriental tales which have descended to us are frequently of a moralizing or didactic nature. The fables of zesop, as every reader knows, are told to point a truth or to enjoin a. Precept. The story of the stork and the fox counsels courtesy; that of the lion and the mouse illustrates that the great may be aided by the humble. So Scriptural narratives convey an underlying truth or idealize a virtue. The story of David and Jonathan apotheosizes brotherly love; the very name of Job epitomizes patience. In short, there usually occurs in Oriental narrative - whatever else may exist - the didactic ele ment, with emphasis on the moral or spiritual. The ideal of truth is Hebraic.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Delving into the rich tapestry of the Alhambra, this book unravels the captivating story of Pedro Gil, a humble water carrier, whose life takes an unexpected turn when he stumbles upon a mysterious Moorish legacy. The discovery of a cryptic parchment scroll sets him on a perilous quest for hidden treasure beneath the legendary Tower of the Seven Floors. With the aid of a wise Moor, Pedro embarks on a daring midnight expedition into the depths of the ancient fortress. Guided by the flickering light of an enchanted taper, they encounter formidable guardians and uncover vast riches concealed within secret vaults. However, their triumph is tempered by the ominous warning that lingering beyond the taper's flame will result in enchantment. Through this gripping tale, the author explores themes of greed, temptation, and the allure of the unknown. The quest for material wealth becomes a metaphor for the human desire to unlock the secrets of the past and uncover the hidden treasures of knowledge and self-discovery. The book beautifully captures the essence of Spanish folklore and the enduring fascination with the legacy of the Moors in Andalusia.
