商品の説明
From Publishers Weekly
The timely question of animal rights is expounded upon in this beautifully illustrated adaptation of an Islamic text written in Basra during the 10th century. Islam teaches that man is responsible for animals and should always treat them with respect; The Island of Animals asserts this concept through its account of a fabulous island inhabited only by animals and Djinn, a race of invisible beings, until the day a great storm shipwrecks men upon its shores. Soon men begin to use the animals living there for their own needs, but the animals rebel, taking their case to the Djinn. The King of the Djinn listens to testimony from both men and animals, and ultimately decides that man could be considered superior because he is the only creature granted a place in Paradise with the Almighty. But, he continues, although man is the master, other creatures are not his slaves, and any cruel behavior will be judged accordingly in the afterlife. Moving and educational, this fable is accompanied by superbly detailed black-and-white illustrations, including many full-page spreads. An important book that will be enjoyed by adults and children alike, and a reminder to all of the importance of humane treatment of animals.

A Very Interesting Folklore
2000/11/21
形式:ペーパーバック
I really liked this book because it makes you really think, for example, it makes you think about who is more intelligent and superior, man or animal. Another good thing about the book is that it tells the story from man's and animal's point of view. So if you want to read a good folklore book, read The Island of The Animals.
