Season 2 | Ep 11 | Master Karshush's Tarbush | A Folktale from Syria
Golpo | Stories From Around the World - Un pรณdcast de Rituparna Ghosh
Categorรญas:
Today's episode is a gentle tribute to the people of Syria and Turkey who suffered one of the greatest disasters of the century. The news and sights coming in the aftermath of the earthquake are devastating. This story comes from Aleppo in Syria, one of the parts worst affected by the earthquake. A few weeks ago we had a Turkish story on the podcast and today, this wisdom tale from Syria is a reminder of the stories that once came from the land. This week I went searching for Syrian Folktale's and I found Samir Tahhan's anthology of folktales the ONLY accessible collection in English. The preface carries the translator's notes of how the stories were collected and gathered. If not for Samir Tahhan's relentless work, we would not have the stories to listen to. Master Karshush's Tarbush is a bitter-sweet tale, that will speak to masters and amateurs alike. It is a story that will open conversations between talent and acquired wisdom. The tussle of who is right between those wiser in years and those with acquired wisdom between the ears! It is about leaders and juniors, its about superiority and enforcement of it. It is about acceptance that someone else may be more talented, gifted and wiser than you. Where and how will you retell this folktale? I will leave that to you. If you do, keep Syria and Turkey in your thoughts. ****๐๐ค๐ก๐ฅ๐ค: ๐๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐จ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐ผ๐ง๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ง๐ก๐ ๐๐จ ๐ ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐ค๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐, ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐พ๐ก๐๐จ๐จ๐ง๐ค๐ค๐ข, ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ค๐ข ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ค๐๐ง๐๐ง๐ค๐ค๐ข. ๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐จ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ซ๐๐ง๐จ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฃ๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐ก๐.
