Tahir Shah – In Arabian Nights

Tahir Shah’s acclaimed 'The Caliph’s House’ recounted his first year of living in Morocco. Now – in an adventure worthy of the mythical 'Arabian Nights’ – he ventures deeper into the heart of this exotic, magical land in search of mysteries hidden from Western eyes for centuries …

As he makes his way through the medinas of Fez and Marrakech, traverses the Sahara sands and tastes the hospitality of ordinary Moroccans, he collects a dazzling treasury of traditional stories, gleaned from the heritage of the 'The Thousand and One Night’. Recounted by a vivid cast of characters, these tales reveal fragments of wisdom and an oriental way of thinking that are both enthralling and fresh. A link in the chain of scholars and teachers who have passed these stories down from father to son, mother to daughter, Tahir Shah discovers a side to Morocco that most visitors hardly realize exists, and eventually discovers the story living in his own heart.   źródło opisu: Z okładki źródło okładki: amazon.co.uk
