Description
A Son of a Son Vol II by Tahir Shah explores the literary legacy of three generations of authors from one celebrated family. Their collective work spans over a century, with scores of books written on various subjects including travel, folklore, and fiction. The Sirdar Ikbal Ali Shah began his writing career in 1918, publishing poetry in prose, while his son Idries Shah gained a worldwide readership for his corpus of works from the 1950s onwards. Tahir Shah, the grandson, has followed in their footsteps, releasing a diverse range of original work. This book brings together common themes running through the collective corpus of all three authors, illustrating how their work influenced one another and forming an extraordinary literary chain of transmission.
