Historias del Panchatantra

En este libro se presentan tres de los cuentos del Panchatantra, colección de cuentos escritos en sánscrito en el siglo III a. C., que hicieron un largo periplo por todo el mundo para llegar finalmente a nuestra América. Ellos nos muestran la sabiduría de la antigua India, la cual nos permite acercarnos al conocimiento de la naturaleza humana. Un oso que domina al resto de los animales por el terror; un zorro oportunista que se aprovecha de un hecho fortuito para recibir beneficios a costa de los demás; una golondrina equivocada que culpa a otros de sus pesares. En estas tres fábulas, así como en otros cuentos propios de las tradiciones de diversas culturas, se hace evidente un lenguaje universal respecto a los valores humanos. Este sigue plenamente vigente a pesar de haber pasado más de dos mil años, pues las debilidades de los seres humanos siguen siendo las mismas. Pero finalmente el bien siempre triunfa, lo que nos habla de esperanza, de la confianza en la vida indispensable para el sano crecimiento de niños y niñas. Es esto justamente lo que hace que Historias de Panchatantra constituya una excelente herramienta para el trabajo con niñas y niños pequeños, sin caer en el discurso teórico moralista, incomprensible todavía para estas edades. Esta edición incluye una actividad didáctica que permite abordar el trabajo con las enseñanzas que nos dejan estas fábulas.
