Review & Description
"The Little Black Fish" is the work of Samad Beh-Rang (Behrangi), a writer from Azerbaijan-Iran. The Little Black Fish, unhappy with a life without any aspiration or purpose, embarks on an eye-opening journey with the spirit of a dreamer experiencing an awakening and the prospects of the deeds he would perform, but in the process he does more than that. The path leads him to wisdom, courage, awareness and study of complex social relations. The actions of small fish thinking pathetically only about their lives, and those of The Little Black Fish saving the tiny fish before saving himself are remarkable manifestations of human behavior when their actions are put to test.
The story of The Little Black Fish is a revelation not just an experience. It is about stepping outside the confides of a self-centered life, drawing a distinction between the wandering and the stationary. It has a pedagogic value with numerous underlying political messages and shows a path to freedom, equality and justice, with a simple analogy for the younger readers to understand. The goal of The Little Black Fish is to fulfill his ultimate quest: "How will my life or death impact the lives of others?"
Once he has identified the problem he sets a goal to look for solutions. From this point on the path is carefully laid-out as he moves on: making connections, assuming leadership, planning, fulfilling the plan and continuing the quest until the goal has been reached. Read more
