THE WORLD OF NASRUDIN

Idries Shah

Octagon Press, September 2003

The World of Nasrudin is the long-awaited fourth title in the series by the acclaimed author Idries Shah. An international folk hero with universal appeal, Nasrudin is often said to have been the wisest fool that ever lived -- though whether he did live at all is a matter of debate. More certain is his universal popularity -- Nasrudin is famous throughout Eastern Europe, Russia, North Africa and the Arab World, as well as Central Asia and as far as China. Whether the stories of Nasrudin are studied for their humor alone, or for their hidden wisdom, they help us to understand our world and ourselves.
