### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A really excellent book
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2015*

I just read this book in small chunks while riding the bus to work - a great way to get the mind moving in the morning, maybe for reasons similar to the attraction of doing crossword puzzles at the breakfast table. Some of these short tales were immediately hilarious, but a fair number seemed strangely bland and pointless. In almost all cases where I drew a blank, a day or two later, on re-reading them I got the point - or at least "a point" - usually a genuinely insightful one well worth coming back for. Maybe two or three will have to wait for another time. This little book is some of the most satisfying personal reading I've done in recent memory. I dearly wish, however, that the publisher had figured out a way to reproduce the drawings with better resolution. They're wonderfully whimsical and surprising.

    The Wisdom of Nasrudin
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2020*

Pleasantries is my favorite book of the Nasrudin corpus published by Idries Shah. These humorous tales really stay with you. It's so interesting how a story will just pop into my mind in relation to an event in my life, and I will say that was just like that Nasrudin story! When that happens, a wealth of information seems to unlock about the event and I simultaneously see the deeper meanings of the story. These tales are not only works of art for entertainment, they are designed to enlighten and edify as well. A joy to read!

    The Mulla prevails!
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2016*

All of Idries Shah's books are worth reading as he is a great storyteller with a wealth of teaching-stories from the middle east . His books are thoughtful, well-written, and entertaining. The Mulla is my favorite of all---i always come away with a smile, a laugh, and a thoughtful nod. Here's an example: The mulla has been invited to a banquet given by the King. He goes wearing a fancy coloured robe. He sits down and immediately begins rubbing food into the robe. The king asks him why he is doing this. He replies "The robe got me in here, so it is only right that It should have a share!"  If The Mulla was in charge of the Middle East there would be Peace.
