Produktinformationen zu „Subtleties of the Inimitable Mulla Nasrudin / ISF Publishing (ePub)“
Many countries claim Nasrudin as a native, although few have gone so far as Turkey in exhibiting a 'grave' of the wisest fool who ever lived, and holding an annual Nasrudin Festival. He is the greatest, most intriguing, character of folklore found in any Eastern land. Versions of his back-to-front thinking can be found in Morocco, Egypt and Russia, in Turkey, Greece, Albania and Afghanistan. Since Idries Shah made Nasrudin's genius available to mainstream Western readers three decades ago, people from every walk of life have laughed at and learned from the wise fool's inimitable escapades.
Autoren-Porträt von Idries Shah
Born in 1924 into an aristocratic Afghan family, Idries Shah created a large body of literary work, most of which considered elements of 'Eastern Thought', especially Sufism and Sufi thought. Some of his best known works include The Sufis and several collections of teaching stories featuring Nasrudin.Shah devoted his life to collecting, selecting and translating Sufi books and key works of Sufi classical literature, adapting them to the needs of the West and disseminating them in the Occident.Called by some 'practical philosophy', by others 'templates in straight thinking' - these works represent centuries of Sufi thought and Islamic thought aimed at the development of human potential to its fullest extent.They stress virtues such as commonsense, clear-thinking and humour to counter cant and religious dogma. As such they are vital works in the area of Islamic philosophy, and may be viewed as an antidote to radicalism and fanaticism much needed in the world today.Shah's books have been translated into dozens of languages, have sold in their millions, and are regarded as a cultural bridge between West and East. His work and contribution to Sufism are represented by The Idries Shah Foundation.
