World Tales. The Extraordinary Coincidence of Stories Told in All Times in All Places.

Johnson Reprint Corporation

A unique and little-known religion, Sufism follows a mystical teaching and a way of life that has had an enormous though largely unrecognized impact on both the East and West for four thousand years. This authoritative book fills a colossal gap in Western documentation of Eastern subjects.

This beautiful collection of stories is one of Shah's best-selling books, and a stirring example of the Sufi system of development at work in the world today. The Magic Monastery was the first book to include stories written by Shah, along with traditional tales illustrating the instructional methods employed by Middle Eastern sages during the last thousand years--mostly unpublished.

The Magic Monastery

E.P. Dutton & Company

A mysterious chest is buried unopened.  A wondrous caravan brings fortune to a simple cobbler.  An outcast princess creates a new life in the wilderness. Some of the 78 tales in this remarkable book first appeared in print over a thousand years ago; others are medieval classics.  Yet, each has a special relevance for us on the eve of the 21st century.  All are told with Idries Shah's distinctive wit and grace and the author's own commentary notes.  These are teaching stories in the Sufi tradition.  Those who probe beyond the surface will find multiple meanings to challenge assumptions and foster new ways of thinking and perceiving.   Tales of the Dervishes is essential reading for anyone interested in Sufi thought, the significance and history of tales, or simply superb entertainment.

First published in 1957, The Secret Lore of Magic contains within it a series of major source-books of magical arts. Many of them translated into English for the first time, these works are annotated and fully illustrated. The book’s title in itself signalled the fact that the bulk of material in this bibliographical study had never been published openly before. Together with Oriental Magic which appeared in the preceding year, it provided a complete survey of fundamental magical literature, and thus a comprehensive reference system for psychologists, ethnologists and others interested in the rise and development of human beliefs. Both books also introduced the general reader to dependable information about what was a shadowy and confusing subject.
