This is the second volume in a trilogy on Mulla Nasrudin by this author. This volume, already on sale in print in vernacular in India, is being made available now on KDP, for the benefit of a larger audience, especially in the West.
This volume titled “Timeless Tales of Mulla Nasrudin” contains 111 brief anecdotes like its predecessor, “Immortal Tales of Mulla Nasrudin” which also had 111 short episodes. The “Immortal Tales” is already available on KDP.
The third and last volume in the Mulla Nasrudin series by this author is not likely to be available on KDP before 2013 due to existing copyrights of a current print version in India. However the first two volumes, “The Immortal Tales” and “Timeless Tales” with no restrictions whatsoever are available to print publishers and others in United States and elsewhere and in any language and in any form separately, combined or abridged. Each anecdote included here is original and unpublished in English before.
Mulla Nasrudin needs no introduction. Believed to have lived in Turkey, Central Asia or China some time between 11th and 14th centuries, Nasrudin, with the Mulla and Hoja as titles denoting his scholarship or nobility, is undoubtedly the most humourous character in human history.
Known for his sarcasm and satire, wit and wisdom the Mulla stands taller than all his peers.
Needless to say that all the stories are timeless. Although the symbols, situations, geography, culture, economy, life style etc. are typically central Asian and medieval, their appeal is not limited to any particular age, clime or place. They are still as fresh as they were a thousand years ago-and shall continue to be so even after another thousand or two.
Unlike a typical sufi, Nasrudin is epicurian in tastes, hedonistic in quests and rebellious in words and deeds. This has made Mulla tales timeless with perennialappealto mankind anytime and everwhere. SamElcot samelcot@gmail.com
