<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Juha is an old Arab comic literary figure (known also to Persians and Turks) around whom countless popular anecdotes were written. He appears variously as preacher and beggar, porter and petty merchant, thief and honest man, judge and social critic, wise man and fool, jester and charlatan (though never as wealthy man or oppressor). While the subject matter is Arab or otherwise Islamic, the humor transcends national and cultural boundaries to achieve a universality that is instantly recognizable and accessible today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Said Yagtine's remarkable introduction allows readers to enter the world of Juha and get a better understanding of Arab humour and anecdote traditions.-- "Banipal"<br>
