Not exactly Mulla Nasrudin
Format: Paperback
This book is a compilation of funny anecdotes and jokes compiled through the ages. The choice of words and sentence structures clearly shows the difficulty in translating such text. In these regards the book is fine.
This book fails mightily when talking about Mulla Nasuraddin. I understand that Mulla at this stage is mostly considered somewhat fictitious figures and stories about him probably have different origins which are attributed over the times to a single person. At the same time, the author has completely take a leap of faith and almost any anecdote even modern ones about trains and machines had been assigned to Mulla. I was really looking for the charm of those old time stories not a general anecdote. In that sense, this books disappointed me.
