Produktbeschreibung
The English e-Book edition of the best-selling book "The Little Buddha" first sold very successfully in a Book-on-Demand edition before the first printed edition was published: it sold over 20,000 copies in one year; the illustrated edition has just been published in Germany, doubling its success. And the number of fans of the German e-book version is growing at the same rate. The story is about a little Buddha, who, tired of always sitting under his Bodhi tree to meditate alone, one day listens to the advice of a friend and goes on a journey. Rather aimlessly he drifts around and, inevitably, meets various and interesting people who tell him their personal experiences and impressions. Thus we get to know, for example, his first companion on his way, a courageous woman who has decided to leave her village and start a new life in the big city; a blind witch who has lived in a dark cave in the forest for years and who helps other people find themselves; or a gardener who, thanks to nature, has learnt a lot about life. In a total of 13 chapters Mikosch lets us accompany the Little Buddha on his journey. In doing so we are frequently reminded of how important it is in life to believe in ourselves and to follow our own way. The focus of the adventurous experiences of the loveable and always curious Buddha lies on optimism, wishes, patience or simply the secret of happiness and of aging. In a very pleasant manner Little Buddha invites us to reflect on ourselves, teaching us not always to look for the big things in life, but to consider the small details too. In this sense, it is fair to say that the book takes you on a trip into your inner self where, besides stirring dreams and memories, it also poses many questions that need to be answered. As the Argentinean "connoisseur of souls", Jorge Bucay said: "Children are told stories to make them fall asleep - they are told to adults so that they wake up". And even if we are certain to walk through the world with open eyes, this book is sure to open our eyes a little bit wider. Day after day the Little Buddha sits under his Bodhi tree, meditating. This is what he likes to do, and he loves to sit under the old tree. But he feels that something is missing in his life. Something very important that neither the clouds in the sky, nor the trees on the ground can give him. Something that nothing in the world can replace, something that every human being needs. To find out what his happiness lacks, he goes on a journey on which he makes many interesting encounters: he meets the patient gardener, a rich farmer woman, a sad clown, and a happy baker woman. From them he learns what is really important in life. It is always the small things that make up the secret of happiness. A beautiful story of dreams, fulfilment and happiness.
