Mullah Nasrudin in Marrakech (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798863292229)

A humorous folklore character teleported from the Middle Ages into the hustle and bustle of modern-day Marrakech is quickly becoming a loveable literary star.
Mullah Nasruddin has been brought to comic life by author and poet Mansoor Shah, who has created a spirited and at times sarcastic religious character who delivers his own very unique and funny pronouncements on everyday life.
People tell his stories and antics with great affection and endearment across Asia including Arabs, Persians, Uzbeks, and the Turkic Xinjiang in China. Some of his stories are linked with Sufi traditions and philosophical approaches - and they almost always come with a sting in the tail.

Mansoor's book takes Mullah Nasruddin on a comic journey to meet the residents of Marrakech, listen to their problems and give them his own special brand of advice. Accompanied by pictures of the inhabitants and tourists of Marrakech, the book of mini adventures is a modern-day Don Quixote.
