In despair at having no son to succeed him, the King of Turkey
leaves his palace to live in seclusion. Soon after, however, he
encounters four wandering dervishes - three princes and a rich
merchant from Persia, Yemen and China - who have been guided to
Turkey by a supernatural force that prophesied their meeting. The
five men sit together in the dead of night, each in turn telling
the tale of lost love that led him to renounce the world. As their
stories within stories unfold, a magnificent world is revealed of
courtly intrigue and romance, fairies and djinn, oriental gardens
and lavish feasts, adventures and mishaps. "A Tale of Four
Dervishes" 1803 is an exquisite example of Urdu fiction that
provides a fascinating glimpse into the customs, beliefs and people
of the time.
