Tahir Shah's acclaimed 'The Caliph's House' recounted his first year of living in Morocco. Now - in an adventure worthy of the mythical 'Arabian Nights' - he ventures deeper into the heart of this exotic, magical land in search of mysteries hidden from Western eyes for centuries ... As he makes his way through the medinas of Fez and Marrakech, traverses the Sahara sands and tastes the hospitality of ordinary Moroccans, he collects a dazzling treasury of traditional stories, gleaned from the heritage of the 'The Thousand and One Night'. Recounted by a vivid cast of characters, these tales reveal fragments of wisdom and an oriental way of thinking that are both enthralling and fresh. A link in the chain of scholars and teachers who have passed these stories down from father to son, mother to daughter, Tahir Shah discovers a side to Morocco that most visitors hardly realize exists, and eventually discovers the story living in his own heart. źródło opisu: Z okładki źródło okładki: amazon.co.uk
