Idries Shah

IDRIES SHAH WAS born in 1924 into the respected Afghan family, the Sadaat of Paghman. Among his many accomplishments, he is credited with making a wide body of scholarship on Eastern traditional teachings available in the Western world. Shah’s twenty nine books, translated into more than 15 languages, which sell in their millions, are considered to be some of the most important literature to be published during the twentieth century. One extraordinary aspect of Shah’s work is the wide spectrum of readers his books attract: they are read and studied by psychologists and novelists, physicists and by social workers, by actors, lawyers and housewives.
