An Ordered Experience

By Timur Shah

Book Overview

In this, his first book, Timur Shah draws on his fascination for world folklore, infusing its pages with an extraordinary array of traditions and opinions, as well as his own adventures.

A helter-skelter journey quite unlike any other, An Ordered Experience sashays through both ancient myths and personal essays devoted to current life and self-criticism.

By examining mythologies from contrasting cultures and epochs - and by searching out their commonalities - Shah presents them to the reader, balancing each against his own experiences, anxieties and dreams.

A kaleidoscope of time and place, the book touches upon a cornucopia of combined culture - including Gilgamesh's quest for eternity, King Arthur and his Round Table, and the fabled Yggdrasil tree of Norse legend.

A reflection of Timur Shah's own mind, An Ordered Experience is a foundation stone in its own right - one that is sure to establish him as a champion of both literature and the humanities.
