Product Description
Here is a treasure-laden caravan from the Near East. In its cargo: teaching stories of the dervish philosophers and mystics, writings by Idries Shah on Mecca and on Islam, poetry, proverbs, allegories, and symbolical tales of amazing richness and variety. The collection as a whole makes delightful reading, but it also has a deeply serious purpose: to bring to the reader the spiritual essence of the Middle East and of Central Asia. For to Idries Shah the reader is like Maruf the Cobbler, who "found himself daydreaming his own fabulous caravan of riches.. . . The imagined caravan took shape, became real for a time - and arrived. May your caravan of dreams, too, find its way to you."
