Description: Octagon Press Ltd, London, United Kingdom, 1988. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Very Good. 9780863040443 The Natives are Restless is the second book in Idries Shah's best-selling trilogy on why the English are as strange as they are. It chronicles some of the amazing, amusing, and thought-provoking adventures of the Afghan traveller and writer, Idries Shah, among members of what he calls the ‘English tribe’. It is an enthralling sequel to his best-selling Darkest England, the narrative illustrating his practised eye as an anthropologist. Shah observes how the English see themselves, and contrasts it with how the rest of the world views this eccentric island race. He also speculates on the likely continuing effect of Englishness on the future development of global society, offering unsuspecting parallels between English attitudes and Oriental wisdom.
