Darkest England: Adventures, Facts & Fantasy in

Octagon Press Ltd, London, United Kingdom, 1988. Reprint, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9780863040399 In his best-selling Darkest England, Idries Shah asserts that the English hail from a little-known place called 'Hathaby', but their roots go back much farther, perhaps to the distant Asian realm of Sakasina. Once a nomadic tribe of warriors, the English fled westward, bringing with them epic tales, traditions, and an Oriental way of thought.Shah charts the genius of the English in adopting and adapting 'almost anything spiritual, moral or material' for their own use - a faculty that has transformed them from warrior nomads into successful diplomats, businessmen, thinkers and scientists. In" Darkest England", Idries Shah makes us see England as though it were a foreign culture, & in doing so, makes apparently mundane habits, "exotic" helpinf us to see cultures, our own and that of others, more objectively. An amusing and heartfelt romp, with moments of great insight, through the labyrinth that is England. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 346 pages. 3-volume set (complete). Dust Jacket un-clipped.
