Peli the Tiger (Peli Peled), as the author of Tao's Tiger book calls himself , describes his life - doctrine in his book. "Why a tiger?" I can hear you asking.
First of all he has chosen that name due to the initials: The word Tiger which is translated into Hebrew as HANAMER, and it'd an abbreviation for Energetic, Studious and Ideas(TIGER Tenacious, Inventive, Go-Getter, Energetic, Resourceful).
But this is not just a letters game. The Tiger is the animal which the author chose to be led by , and you are offered to join him. So the Tao's Tiger book is a philosophical one. The book is written in Hebrew and deals with life, work and fulfillment.
The opening of the book causes you eagerness to read it .The author Peli the Tiger defines himself as an "Polish urban guy". He indicates that he has graduated from Tel Aviv University Economics Faculty but that he has chosen University of life ...
While reading the book I felt that the Tao's Tiger was based on a lot of personal experience and was written from the "Kishkes" (the stomach) as they call it in Yiddish.
The Tao's Tiger book is divided into seven Tiger gates (seven chapters). Each gate is ornamented by Tigerish illustration, and each gate deals with another aspect of Tigers' life. Tigerish songs are displayed throughout the book . Those images express a certain way of understanding the Tiger. The tiger is a symbol. He is the reader, he is me and you.
The Tao's Tiger book is flavored by different speckled Tiger expressions, humor and rhymes.
The whole book from beginning till its end is one full rich unit. Together with the verbal decoration the reading becomes an enjoyable and spiritual experience.
Finally I recommend The Tao's Tiger book as a gift for your philosopher loved ones.
