Sinopsis

In 1918, Tahir ShahâÇÖs grandfather, The Sirdar Ikbal Ali Shah, published the small volume of âÇÖpoetry in proseâÇÖ -áEastern Moonbeams. The book marked not only the beginning of a glittering literary career, but the start of something far greater.In the century since The SirdarâÇÖs first publication, three generations of the same family have released hundreds of books - the bulk of them bridging West with East.A Son of a Sonácomprises a selection of passages from the work of a grandfather, a father, and a son, written over a span of a hundred and one years.Drawing on shared interests and inspirations, this extraordinary treasury encompasses literature, travel, philosophy, psychology,ábelle-lettres, and folklore.As Tahir Shah says in his Foreword:âÇÖWe are merely the newest branches of a tree, the roots of which stretch downward deep into the soil. As I sit here, writing books and thinking about the world, every word I type is connected to every word uttered by my father, my grandfather, and by the generations who came before us.âÇÖ
