"Perfectly designed models for isolating and holding distortions of the mind which so often pass for reasonable behavior." --Idries Shah Today we find him in a high-level physics report, illustrating phenomena that can't be described in ordinary technical terms. He appears in psychology textbooks, illuminating the workings of the mind in a way no straightforward explanation can. Here, in three definitive volumes, Idries Shah takes us to the very heart of this mysterious mentor, the Mulla Nasrudin. Skillful contemporary retellings of hundreds of collected stories and sayings bring the unmistakable--often backhanded--wisdom, wit and charm of the timeless jokester to life. The Mulla and his stories appear in literature and oral traditions from the Middle East to Greece, Russia, France--even China. Many nations claim Nasrudin as a native son, the Turks going so far as to exhibit a grave with his date of death as 386. But nobody really knows who he was or where he came from. According to a legend dating from at least the 13th century, Nasrudin was snatched as a schoolboy from the clutches of the "Old Villain"--the crude system of thought that ensnares man--to carry through the ages the message of how to escape. He was chosen because he could make people laugh, and humor has a way of slipping through the cracks of the most rigid thinking habits. Today--as they have for centuries--the Sufis use these stories as teaching exercises, in part to momentarily "freeze" situations in which states of mind can be recognized. In these delightful volumes, Shah not only gives the Mulla a proper vehicle for our times, he proves that the centuries-old stories and quips of Nasrudin are still some of the funniest jokes in the world.

The redoubtable Amelia Watson – the second wife of Dr. John H. Watson of Baker Street fame – returns for thirteen light-hearted adventures whose puzzles would tax the ingenuity of the master himself! Whether soaring over England in a hot air balloon; sailing the seas on board ship; journeying to Scotland on behalf of His Majesty himself; becoming enmeshed in a Royal conspiracy at Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show; or following the clues of an ancient treasure hunt through the streets of Edwardian London, Amelia Watson is never far from a mystery, and never fails to solve the most baffling of conundrums.

The Exploits of a Young Don Juan recounts the sexual coming of age of Roger amidst his entourage of naive and not so naive woman while his father is away on business. And Roger surely plays while the cat is away, possessing a virility and manhood to match, as he seduces those around him into the most compromising scenes and situations with his lascivious will. From the author who brought us Eleven Thousand Rods, a work banned in France until 1970, Guillame Apollinaire succeeds in emulating the Libertine ideas and doctrines gleaned from the Marquis De Sade. Told in a wonderfully graphic prose that will be sure to shock and entertain, this gem of Edwardian erotic makes a fine addition to any collection of the once-forbidden. The original 1907 manuscript of this work, gifted to Picasso, was one of the artist's most prized possessions.
