Description
World Tales: Exploring the Shared Stories of Our World Heritage Idries Shah's remarkable volume delves into the extraordinary coincidence of stories told in all times and places. Working with written and oral sources for thirty-five years, Shah identifies a truly living element in these tales that is evident when isolating the 'basic' stories - those that have travelled farthest, featured in classical collections, and inspired great writers. These fundamental stories reveal a shared human experience that transcends cultures and time. By examining their persistence and adaptation across different societies, Shah sheds light on the common threads that weave our world heritage together. This thought-provoking book invites readers to explore the fascinating connections between seemingly disparate tales. Hardcover, 416 pages.
