Sufi Studies: East and West : A Symposium in Honor of Idries Shah's Services to Sufi Studies

by L.F. Rushbrook Williams (Editor)

Idries Shah's books have been described in The Guardian as a 'peepshow into a world which most people do not imagine exists, a world light-years away from the arid, near-incomprehensible sophistries of the pedantic and modish Sufists who have turned the subject into an intellectual game, regarding it as their private preserve.'
