Descriere magazin:
An Anne Izard Storytellers\' Choice Award Winner A Storytelling World Honor Book Once, when young Nasruddin was acting up in class by distracting his friends with endless antics, jests, and stories, his irate teacher uttered a curse: "Whatever you do or say, people will only laugh at you." Now, eight centuries later, children, adults, and wise fools everywhere are still laughing at Nasruddin (Nasreddin Hoca), one of the world\'s most beloved folk characters. This entertaining and insightful retelling of more than a year\'s worth of daily Mullah stories brings the famed Persian legend into the Twenty-First Century. Storytellers, folklorists, Sufis, comedians, wisdom seekers, and everyone who loves to laugh will be enriched and enlightened by the timeless wit, inscrutable wisdom, and uncommon sense of humor of Mullah Nasruddin. "Suresha identi es the real strength of Nasruddin\'s stories in context to world literature and story performance, that is, its power to build bridges between cultures. ... The point of these stories is to speak to the audience in the language and metaphors that are familiar." - Storytelling, Self, Society "A contemporary reworking of the tales (the stories fit for a general audience, at least) ... to Suresha\'s credit he has maintained the direct, unadorned style that is a hallmark of folk tales. ... a delightful break from the everyday world for an hour or two." - Green Man Review "A fine pick and very highly recommended." - Midwest Book Review "These hilarious, and at times, ribald folk tales of the Turkish wise fool take the reader to another time and place, and share the spiritual lessons of Nasruddin. ... The teaching stories included in this volume help to build bridges between cultures by exemplifying Arabic wisdom and universal human humor." - from the Preface by Ann Shapiro, Executive Director, Connecticut Storytelling Center About the Author: Ron J. Suresha is an award-winning author and editor of more than a dozen books, four of which were named Lambda Literary Award Finalists, including the outrageous sequel to this book, Extraordinary Adventures of Mullah Nasruddin: Naughty, unexpurgated tales of the beloved wise fool from the Middle and Far East. The author lives in the rolling hills of central-western Connecticut.
