Product Description
by Ron J. Suresha (Author)
Extraordinary Adventures of Mullah Nasruddin: Naughty, unexpurgated tales of the beloved wise fool from the Middle & Far East. Revised Edition collected & retold by Ron J. Suresha Lambda Literary Awards, Finalis t Rainbow Book Awards, Honorable Mention. This award-winning folklore collection details the exploits of the beloved 800-year-old Turkish "wise fool," Mullah Nasruddin (Nasreddin Hoca), presenting 255 authentic, hilarious, outrageous folk tales, dozens appearing in English for the first time. Author Suresha has done extensive research to locate, translate, and retell these centuries-old "naughty Nasruddin" stories from around the globe. Some are relatively simple, straightforward "traditional" anecdotes and jokes that depict the Mullah as he daily interacts with his family, neighbors, donkey, community, and strangers during his myriad journeys in the ancient hills and rural villages of the Levant. Many bawdy, ribald tales, previously suppressed for moralistic reasons, explore taboo themes inappropriate for children. Mature readers will be amused and amazed by this unadulterated account of the truly Extraordinary Adventures of Mullah Nasruddin.

". . . ridiculously funny. . . . The Mullah Nasruddin's tradition is marked by illuminative stories that can be appropriately shared by the Imam at the Friday prayer in the masjid while another might be delivered by the boisterous pottery merchant in the tea room after prayers. Such is the stuff of real humans. The author has done an excellent job researching and adapting these stories from the originals to provide us with a better view of the unpredictable reality of human beings. The author's roundup is exhaustive, perhaps one of the most honest of all English collections that have been published as popular Mullah Nasruddin literature. - from a review by Prof. Sandra Bird in Storytelling Society Self (2018)
