Inhaltsangabe

Warning: when you pop, you can’t stop!
Like a famous brand of crisps, these stories are addictive.
Read one, the saying goes, and you’ll be stuck reading seven.
In fact, Mulla Nasrudin jokes function like memes – working their way into the fabric of society, subtly influencing thought.
They have no calories, so indulge without guilt!

Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

Mulla Nasrudin, the wise fool of Eastern folklore, holds a special place in Sufi studies. The Sufis, who believe that deep intuition is the only real guide to knowledge, use the humorous stories of Nasrudin's adventures almost like exercises.

They ask people to choose a few which especially appeal to them, and turn them over in their mind, making them their own.

Sufi teaching masters say that in this way a breakthrough into a higher wisdom can be effected. A single story can work on many levels, from great humor to initiating profound thought.
