"From the author of the internationally bestselling The Art of Hearing Heartbeats
series, comes this charming collection of folktales that offers a window into Burma's
fascinating history and culture. Since 1995 Jan-Philipp Sendker has visited Myanmar
(Burma) dozens of times, and while doing research for his novels The Art of Hearing
Heartbeats and A Well-Tempered Heart, he encountered numerous folktales and fables.
These moving stories speak to the rich mythology of the diverse peoples of Burma,
the spirituality of humankind, and the profound social impact of Buddhist thought.
Some are so strange he couldn't classify them or identify a familiar moral, while
others reminded him of the fairy tales of his childhood, except that here monkeys,
tigers, elephants, and crocodiles inhabited the fantastic lands instead of hedgehogs,
donkeys, or geese. Their morals resemble those of the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian
Andersen, illustrating how all cultures draw on a universal wisdom to create their
myths. The Long Path to Wisdom's evocative stories run the gamut of human emotions,
from the familiar to the shocking, and are sure to delight fans of The Art of Hearing
Heartbeats as well as those newly discovering the magic of Sendker's incandescent
writing"
